With educational technologies all the rage (and with good reason), educators are on the hunt for multi-media online tools to incorporate in their virtual, LMS-hosted, and face-to-face classrooms.
LMSs like Coggno allow educators to easily create and upload videos--it's just a matter of clicks. And videos can provide memorable learning material to students, if done right.
One unfortunate effect of videos in the classroom is often passivity in students, and a lack of actual learning. How can this be avoided?
Of course, intrigue is essential. Create a video you can imagine your students enjoying. There's nothing less effective than educational material that makes students immediately zone out.
Just to ensure their attention and understanding of material, have students take notes on the video and prepare themselves to be asked questions about the content.
For students whose classroom is strictly virtual, this method of note-taking and question-answering is especially crucial for ensuring understanding of the video's content.
Teachers can test student comprehension of the video learning material with a short test or quiz, using other features on Coggno's LMS.
When students watch an interesting video, they are prompted to become more engaged in the content and invested in its meaning. And when students are allowed to make their own videos using simple LMS tools, the learning material they work with becomes unforgettable.
