Traditional writing assignments are appropriate for many types of assessments, but there is no law that says traditional writing assignments are required for all. <\/p>\n

In a Faculty Focus<\/a> article, Dr. John Orlando explains how student videos can be used to demonstrate learning. He writes,<\/p>\n

A good video assignment is to put students into small groups with instructions to make a video that teaches a key concept related to class. If done well, the video not only demonstrates students\u2019 understanding of the concept, but also serves as a resource that can be used by others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recent technologies have made video creation remarkably easy and video assignments can be shared in Blackboard. However, you should opt to have the students upload their video files to a video sharing site like YouTube and just provide a link to the video inside Blackboard. The reason for this is your Blackboard courses have a 1.25 GB course size limit. This course size limit includes all content the instructor uploads as well as all content uploaded by the students. Most video files are large and you will find that if students attempted to upload their videos into your course you will reach your course size limit rather quickly. <\/p>\n

If you are interested in video assignments, you can read more in Dr. Orlando\u2019s \u201cAsk Your Students to Create Videos to Demonstrate Learning<\/a>\u201d article. <\/p>\n

Additionally, I prepared some instructions for recording, uploading, and sharing video on YouTube<\/a> that you should provide to your students to help them post a link to their video in Blackboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
