Using Video for Assignments and Lectures in Remote & Hybrid Teaching in Blackboard Learn Original

One of the most powerful tools in the remote and hybrid environments is the use of video. Whether you are attempting a flipped classroom, an asynchronous method of course delivery, or utilizing embedded quizzes, effective use of video can help to engage your students. There are also several ways that you can have students utilize videos on assignments and projects that increase the sense of community in the remote and hybrid classroom. We recommend that you watch the How-to videos and read the documentation provided here before the session as the sessions will focus on strategies for teaching with the tools as opposed to focusing on how to use the tools.

Teaching in the Hybrid Classroom

One new challenge that many of us are faced with this coming semester is learning how to effectively teach in a hybrid classroom. There are many tools, strategies, and methods for ensuring that you are providing an engaging class for both remote and in class students. While we will have all classes recorded or livestreamed with Echo360, that does not provide us with information on how to teach and engage students, it just gives us the ability to reach those students who may not be present in the room. This session will focus on a few strategies for using technology and different pedagogical methods in this environment. We recommend that you watch the How-to videos and read the documentation provided here before the session as the sessions will focus on strategies for teaching with the tools as opposed to focusing on how to use the tools.
