Discover How to Spark Curiosity and Build Learner Autonomy with Interactive Video

Intrinsic motivation and student autonomy are critical for deep and transferable learning. Even those of us who already use videos in our online courses may be missing a valuable opportunity to engage students’ sense of wonder, curiosity and autonomy. In a webinar hosted by CVC-OEI, you will learn how to add interactive elements to videos you have created or found in OER, on YouTube or elsewhere. 
 
Julie Gamberg, English instructor at Glendale Community College, will demonstrate how to enhance student engagement with interactive features like ungraded optional pop-ups and inquiry-based pauses. She will use PlayPosit, a tool embedded in Canvas, and will provide a “goody bag” of easy-to-use, step-by-step demonstrations to implement these ideas. All recommended elements are available free of cost to CCC faculty!
 
This session will take place on April 21 from 11:00 to 12:00 p.m. It will include captioning via Zoom's Live Transcript tool; if you require additional accommodations, please contact support@cvc.edu as soon as possible to help us meet your needs. Register.
