Additional Resources
Many undergraduate biology educators will continue remote teaching into
the 2020-2021 academic year, and many will be searching for free online
videos to supplement their course material. This case study was
performed on video homework assignments as a component of a traditional
in-person course. The importance of choosing engaging videos is even
greater under scenarios of fully remote instruction, when the students’
entire coursework is online. In addition to the resources described in
this case study (Bozeman
Science, HHMI
BioInteractive, and iBiology), we recommend
educators search for supplemental videos in other well-known resources
including Ted
Ed, Kahn
Academy, JOVE and Crash Course.
Although not described in this case study, it may be useful to make
associated questions interactive by embedding them within videos (Brame
2016). There are several resources that allow educators to interpolate
questions throughout videos, including EdPuzzle, PlayPosit, Camtasia, and Nearpod.
