Create Checks and Balances for LMS Video Viewers

By Martin Kemp

Increasingly teachers search for interesting and valuable resources for classrooms, including LMSs and online learning technologies.

LMSs like Coggno allow educators to easily create and upload videos--it's just a matter of clicks. And videos can provide memorable learning material to students, if done right.

So how can educators prevent the passive learning behavior that videos often lead to?

Of course, intrigue is essential. Create a video you can imagine your students enjoying. There's nothing less effective than educational material that makes students immediately zone out.

But that won't be enough. Although a student may be interested in the content, that doesn't mean he or she will remember it. Have students take notes.

For students whose classroom is strictly virtual, this method of note-taking and question-answering is especially crucial for ensuring understanding of the video's content.

Coggno's test, quiz and assessment tools can also be used to complement videos.

When students watch an interesting video, they are prompted to become more engaged in the content and invested in its meaning. And when students are allowed to make their own videos using simple LMS tools, the learning material they work with becomes unforgettable.
