The Next Step

I’m getting ready to really promote Video Essays with my students in my online courses. They are easy to make.  Webcams are readily available for most students.  They emphasize creation and analysis and they offer quality accommodations for students with written expression problems.  In my project blog I detailed how kids could use this in my class if you feel like reading, or you could just check out the short video below.

Have you used video essays (vlogs) as a tool in your courses?  How did it go? Do you have any suggestions?
