Studies suggest that active learning increases understanding and retention for higher-ed STEM students. As educators, we need to support students with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and former education. It can be difficult to meet students where they are because their experiences cover an expansive continuum of understanding and knowledge. Active learning can take many forms, but this panel will focus on the use of videos as an active learning tool. Videos have a low learning curve since the technology is widespread and commonly used. We will discuss challenges, share tips, highlight effective strategies for boosting student success, and discuss curation of videos. Attendees will leave the session with an understanding of how technology can bridge learning gaps, and they will be better equipped with practical strategies to include videos, curation of quality instructional videos, and assessment of student learning.
