Abstract: In light of the unpredictable external changes impacting both higher education learning environments and the workforce, educators need to continually adjust and enhance their teaching approaches to effectively support and equip their students. The use of videos for learning is not a recent phenomenon; however, we believe that reevaluating how videos are utilized can assist in overcoming our present-day educational obstacles. Videos can be used to provide course content, assess knowledge and critical thinking, and build engagement. In this session, participants will learn various tools and techniques to upgrade their pedagogy with videos. The exercise will mimic a student’s experience with completing brief video-based assignments, as well as expose participants to how they could use videos for content sharing and building engagement.
