Using Video Discussion Boards to Increase Student Engagement
Strategy Description
Discussion boards in online courses are widely known to encourage higher-order thinking and reflection. However, text-based discussions may not be the best choice for all students or all learning outcomes. Student-created video is used increasingly in the form of video discussion boards. For example, instructors may have heard of Flipgrid, a popular video discussion software startup, gained prevalence when Microsoft acquired the company for use (Young, 2018).
