Thirsty for a Strong Instructional Practice?<\/h3>\n

\"StudentIn a recent conversation on Teams, students were commiserating about the tough upcoming month, the last month of the semester. Several students shared that they were behind on reading or didn\u2019t feel particularly confident about the last exam. Typical mid-semester blues. One student said, \u201cI always fall asleep while watching the lectures.\u201d<\/p>\n

There it was \u2013 the first sign, for me, that maybe remote learning is beginning to normalize and that students\u2019 learning needs in the Before Times are also the learning needs of Now. In other words, what disengaged students before disengages them today. Who hasn\u2019t seen a student nod off during a lecture? And while we\u2019re showing scars, whose head hasn\u2019t bobbed up and down during a conference panel? It isn\u2019t necessarily that the content is boring or that we\u2019re even tired; it\u2019s that active learning requires active listening\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0interacting.<\/p>\n

Over the years, we\u2019ve shared a variety of SIPs (Examples: SIP 9.11<\/a>, SIP 10.2<\/a>, SIP 10:12<\/a>, SIP 10:13<\/a>, SIP 13.11<\/a>) on how to facilitate inclusive, active learning. In face-to-face class lectures, many of us have shown film clips, played audio clips, drawn on the whiteboard, hung posters or broadcast memes in PowerPoints. All of this is adaptable to remote learning. Last week, in SIP 13.11<\/a>, we shared tips for recharging the enthusiasm in your remote learning courses. This week, we\u2019re continuing this theme with suggestions for successfully incorporating video clips into your synchronous and asynchronous lessons. Video clips provide high-tech with high-touch outcomes that enliven digital lectures and increase student engagement.<\/p>\n

Take a SIP of this: Use Video Clips to Enhance Learning<\/em><\/h3>\n

First, decide which content within your lesson could work well in a short visual moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of your students have grown up using Instagram, Snapchat and other social media and technologies. They understand the 60-second video. However, not all content can be condensed into a short clip. Incorporating video clips into a lecture is similar to incorporating research into an academic article. Some information serves well in a summary (the video-clip equivalent), and other information works best quoted at length (assigning the entire film).<\/p>\n

Second, decide your \u201cwhy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
