5 Minute Videos for 5 Minute Millennials

One approach to constructing instructional video material is employing dynamic elements to sustain attention and promote retention. The instructor’s challenge is to resolve the tension between students’ limited attention span and the sustained effort necessary for successful study. The face-to-face environment admits tactics not available with video-based instruction. Video instruction relies on action and replay. The Short-Sharp-Shock Video is one way to address the attention challenge.

Teaching Teamwork in Online Classes

When we assign group projects without teaching teamwork principles, we mistakenly assume that students already know how to work with others to accomplish a task. Instead of simply assigning “group work,” we can design opportunities for students to practice humanistic understanding and robust communication that will enable them to form coherent, high-performing teams based on mutual trust.
