I like to use administrative video clips
Agree Strongly Agree
Administration - Evidence
“Video instructions really help clear up the gray areas of the assignment and they provide good examples.”
“It's really good that I have the ability to review the expectations of an assignment multiple times and coming directly from my instructor”
Administration - Evidence
“For many of us, the type of work we are doing is new, and simple written instructions may not be sufficient to understand the technical aspect of what we have to do.”
“I can refer back to them over and over instead of bugging my professor”
