Affecting Connecting: High Instructor Presence through Videos
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2020 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
How can we connect more effectively with students, particularly in these challenging times? Weekly videos are an easy and creative way to bridge literal and figurative gaps. Beyond engaging pedagogical material, students in asynchronous learning environments often crave a more personal touch to their education. However, large-scale classes can make that very challenging for instructors. “Homegrown” weekly videos can provide a low effort, high impact experience for students that reiterates important material, creates norms for course communication, and lowers overall workload. This workshop is a video tour of how to do this.
