Teaching Continuity FAQ
- What are some best practices for getting students to watch videos in D2L?
- One best practice is to use checklists in every module, and designate tasks as required or optional.
- Another best practice is to assess their engagement in this and other ways by assigning a point value and/or quiz to the activity.
- If those two best practices aren’t in keeping with your design of the course, you might consider incorporating some urgency in the title of your videos – such as “Required Viewing”. Or include some instructions or guidance in with each video, such as “Watch this video before opening other content in this module.”
- For more on checklists, see tutorials and documentation on the D2L Resources page.
- Finally, let students know that you can see how much time they spent viewing a particular video.
