Initially, Dr. Linsey Donner and Marnie Imhoff used EchoVideo to record lectures that students could watch asynchronously as part of a hybrid program. While they began by using EchoVideo to simply record lectures that could be posted into their learning management system, they knew there were features that could offer a richer educational experience to their students. They continued to record lectures and dove into the transcription process, providing students with closed captioning, and they started to see how the videos and the transcripts positively impacted students’ learning.
PointSolutions increases equity in education using the polling feature. Targeted questions help instructors to figure out what students are struggling with and what concepts they know. That way, students get the help they actually need so instructors can spend time on those concepts that they don’t know, helping everyone get on the same page.
EchoVideo has additional tools that help instructors engage the students, like embedded polling in recorded lectures, so instructors can use in-classroom time to work through a case study or use polling to engage the audience and create that visual learning experience for them so they can actively learn in the classroom.
Imhoff says, “We did some research looking at how video views corresponded to course and exam grades. We did find that the more the students watched the videos, the more their exam scores and course grades increased,” demonstrating the positive effect that full-feature video has on the quality of learning.
