Are my students viewing my videos

Determining whether students are viewing the videos you assign.

Instructors often assign students the task of watching a video before class with the intent that this content will prepare them for class activities. This content can be a lecture, narrated PowerPoint, demonstration video, or interviews/case studies. When students do not complete this assignment or when after viewing the content they have not acquired the knowledge or understanding at the desired levels, this can cause problems for both the instructor and student. Being unprepared often leads to failed classroom learning experiences, an unplanned readjustment in-class activities, and falling back to lecturing on the content covered by the video content.

This document will cover several approaches you can use to monitor students' compliance with watching video content. It will also provide ways of determining whether compliance equals preparation for planned classroom activities.
