Video Announcements

Provide announcements or weekly updates via video updates to increase student engagement. Students report that they feel more connected, understand expectations better, and get a better sense of the assignments each week when the instructor posts a video announcement each week. In the announcement:

  • Discuss the previous week with any type of encouragement or reminders needed.
  • Discuss upcoming assignments with particular details on assignments, best practices, and questions you typically get from students on the various assignments.
  • Optional: highlight a current event that ties into the week’s topic.
