Increasing video in your courses
Regis students told the Student Engagement Task Force that they would like more video in their courses. Many faculty members are heeding this message.
Tristen Amador of the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions (RHCHP) decided to increase the amount of video in her courses through weekly video announcements, then asked her students if they found them helpful. Here is one of many comments her students have shared with her: “The weekly videos are helpful! They’re not too long and I appreciate the video format as it makes this online class more interactive. It’s always nice to hear how your week is going/how your weekend was.”
David Thomas, Anderson College of Business and Computing, is engaging his student by posting videos made with Video Note to provide discussion replies and feedback. Find David’s video here.
Bob Spagnola, Anderson College of Business and Computing, has leveraged video to enhance learning and satisfaction. See him describe his work in this short informative video.
