Brief Abstract
In the wake of COVID the unprecedented demand for online instruction has spurred the need for new engagement tactics among educators. To help students feel there is more interaction during a course delivery experience, new tactics and tools are being introduced into learning management systems and online platforms. However, for the instructor, the result is often an overwhelming amount of additional work to learn the new tools and apply them effectively. Using video for both lesson delivery and assessment feedback, as well as collaborative projects, has become more common with advances in available tools as well as a more accepting culture that has become used to being online, on camera, and recorded. This workshop will demonstrate some easy-to-use steps in bolstering learner engagement and interaction through simple video recording and interface, both live and for asynchronous pre-recorded material. A basic look at some steps to improve video and audio will be covered with suggestions on how to streamline the message to help improve retention. Covering "video grades," simple techniques for capturing and using assessment feedback in short-form video will be discussed as a means of personalizing the learning experience for the student. A review will be presented regarding the positive feedback, both anecdotal and in structured focus groups, from students exposed to some of the techniques discussed. The workshop concludes with a brief look at future tools in learning management systems that may help support and streamline further the use of video interfaces.
