The flipped classroom<\/a> makes the best use of both preparation and in-class time to maximise student engagement and success. Could the pre-lecture video be the tool to maximise engagement with the face-to-face lecture in the age of recorded classes?<\/p>\n

Preparation has always been a key part of the learning process: technology just makes it both potentially more effective for more learners and easier to track<\/a>. Colleagues across the institution and beyond are finding that structured preparation, whether through scaffold d reading lists or short video lessons, dramatically increases student engagement. As a consequence, it also seems to be\u00a0key for ensuring attendance at face-to-face classes in an age where content and information can be obtained in so many other ways.<\/p>\n

Put simply – facilitating engagement with your material before class means that you can have deeper interactions in class and make best use of that time. Teachers following the flipped class model report improved engagement and enjoyment, by both students and teachers.<\/p>\n

Kaltura is a user-friendly\u00a0video delivery system,\u00a0akin to\u00a0YouTube, providing high quality streamed content within the closed learning management system (LMS \/ Blackboard). As an education tool, the key aspects\u00a0of\u00a0the 2016\u00a0version are screencasting and embedding of multiple choice questions. It\u00a0allows easy, desktop\u00a0creation of screencast video lessons with embedded multiple choice questions. It is thus ideal for creating preparation material for flipped classes: it\u00a0enables teachers (and potentially\u00a0students) to easily produce full video lessons or resources directly and quickly from a\u00a0desktop or even from a phone.<\/p>\n

This means that\u00a0slide presentations can be easily\u00a0converted<\/a> to interactive and effective\u00a0video lessons on a desktop from existing PowerPoint slides. Editing\u00a0and uploading\u00a0to the LMS does not require\u00a0additional software. Multiple choice questions<\/a> can be embedded in any part of the\u00a0video lesson, so that students are motivated to complete the lesson as they\u00a0receive feedback on their comprehension and\u00a0understanding and are set up to maximise the benefits of attending class.<\/p>\n

Providing\u00a0students with engaging and interactive\u00a0preparation resources such as Kaltura\u00a0has never been easier. Further information and support is available on the LMS, via the Educational Innovation helpdesk<\/a> and through the Educational Innovation group on Yammer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
