Optimal Video Length for Student Engagement

Optimal Video Length for Student Engagement | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From blog.edx.org - July 16, 2016 3:40 PM
In this first post, I’ll share some preliminary results about video usage, obtained from initial analyses of a few edX math and science courses. Unsurprisingly, students engaged more with shorter videos. Traditional in-person lectures usually last an hour, but students have much shorter attention spans when watching educational videos online.

Via Maggie Rouman
Jim Lerman's insight:

There have been a number of studies I've come across that have come to this same conclusion that 6 minutes is the optimal length for student engagement with an educational video. Yet, educators' urge to "cover the material" seems to get in the way of keeping videos to this level of conciseness. Six minutes guys!!

How long should educational videos be? Research says not longer than 6 minutes. Find out more here.

One of the biggest questions about the flipped classroom model is how to get students to actually do the pre-class work and come to class prepared.

From www.facultyfocus.com - July 2, 2016 2:32 PM
The next semester, I decided to embrace social media and created a Facebook page for the class, which was comprised of 25 students. It was actually fun and easy. In less than two hours, I had created a page with relevant material for the course. For the sake of privacy, I kept the class page separated from my personal Facebook account.

Project Based Learning Connects To Flip Learning… Plus Hundreds of Resources

From 21centuryedtech.wordpress.com - July 16, 2016 3:37 PM
Have you ever considered flipping your classroom and engaging students in Project Based Learning at the same time? As I study these learning processes I see possibilities that allow the two to not only coexist, but also complement each other. How might this work? They do share similar emphasis on higher order thinking skills. Another not so obvious way the two can complement each other is based on productivity and time. Let’s take a closer look.

Can You Flip an Online Class?

Can You Flip an Online Class? | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From www.facultyfocus.com - July 2, 2016 2:21 PM
One way to address this is to apply the flipped philosophy to the online classroom. The flipped classroom model can help us design more interactive and engaging online learning experiences, and online classes can help us expand on what it means to flip. Certainly there is something to learn by combining these two conversations.

Carlos Fosca's curator insight, July 1, 2016 4:11 PM

Interesante pregunta ¿se puede aplicar la estrategia de la clase invertida (flipped classroom) en cursos online? donde el concepto de actividad dentro y fuera de clase ya no existe como es el caso de las educación presencial. Aquí el enfoque de flipped classroom va en la línea de virar de un enfoque más centrado en el instructor a orientarlo directamente en el aprendizaje del estudiante. Hacer que las actividades sean diseñadas para motivarlo, hacerlo participar, colaborar y promover el pensamiento crítico.

This is a fun way to use "faux" social media in the classroom. Fakebook has a Facebook template but can be used to create fictional social profiles. How can you use this? Book character profile? Famous American profiles? The possibilities are endless!

From www.theedublogger.com - July 2, 2016 2:32 PM
I’m not the most dedicated Instagrammer (need to get out more) or the best photographer (wish I was) but like many other educators, I enjoy sharing my photos on Instagram.

Why?  It’s fun! Easy! I can quickly share photos taken on my iPhone when I’m out and about!  Or have fun editing photos and sharing from my camera on my iPad!  And in the process I’m learning more about photography, photo editing and other Instagram users.

Here’s my advice to help you get started or get more out of using Instagram.
