Add interactive quizzes to videos. Want to ensure students watch your entire video? Embed quizzes into your video as formative assessments to keep them engaged and accountable!
Use relevant keywords to help with indexing. The YuJa video management system will automatically index your videos so that students can go directly to areas they need. Be consistent with the words you use so that they correlate similarly to what you articulate in other materials (or what you say in class).
Have students create, edit and submit videos within Blackboard. Multimodal assignments are engaging, create opportunities for deeper learning, and reduce the possibility of academic dishonesty.
Ensure ADA compliance with the closed-captioning tool. Universal design is key for ADA. ALL students should be able to access the same materials and have equitable learning opportunities. The YuJa video management system automatically creates captions for videos—all you might have to do is correct a few voice recognition errors. If you need additional assistance with closed-captioning, the Center for Faculty Leadership and Development (CFLD) provides guidance and assistance for creating closed captions for videos created by faculty & staff at 海角社区. This service assists in the provision of required ADA-compliant captioning.
Measure the engagement of your videos with analytics. The best way to determine if your videos are effective is to review the metrics. Check your analytics so that you can not only see how many times students are watching, but where their engagement is dropping off. This can help you consider the length of your video or the needed focus.
