For EdTech trailblazers, video can be a game changer. Its ability to engage, inspire, and educate is unparalleled. But how best to use it? The possibilities are endless, but here are 8 unique ways to enhance educational platforms with Ed-Ready video. 

 

1. AI tutors and adaptive learning applications

 

Customize learning experiences with video content tailored to each student's needs. Supplement an AI Tutor with Ed-Ready video to make your Tutor more accessible and increase engagement. Integrate video into adaptive learning algorithms that recommend videos based on individual progress, interests, and learning styles. Imagine a platform that suggests videos on calculus for math enthusiasts and engaging history documentaries for budding historians. It's like having a personal tutor 24/7! 


We recently developed video highlights to enhance chatbots for education with the right learning moment from our library of 2.2 million Ed-Ready videos. Try it now in our generative AI chatbot. 

 


2. Interactive assessments

 

Move beyond traditional quizzes! Create interactive video assessments where students engage actively with the content at hand. Embed questions or challenges within the video, prompting learners to respond, make decisions, or solve problems in real-time. Provide a video highlight when a student answers incorrectly.

 

 

3. Supplement assignments with curriculum-aligned video

 

Integrate video into digital assignments to help enhance student learning experiences. Use videos aligned with your learning objectives to supplement text resources and cater to different learning styles. Check out our friends at Perusall for their integration with Boclips’ OpenStax-aligned videos.

 


 

4. Draft AI-generated courseware

 

Combine the power of learning management systems, the Boclips API and generative AI and voilà! Create new courses at scale and eliminate the manual efforts associated with drafting a new course and selecting relevant, engaging educational videos to align with your learning objectives.

 

5. Virtual field trips

 

Break down classroom walls by transporting students anywhere in the world through virtual field trips. Leverage immersive 360-degree videos to explore historical sites, museums, or even deep-sea and extraterrestrial environments. It's a passport to experiential learning, making lessons come alive with sights and sounds.

Streamline lesson planning with instructionally sequenced videos. For educators, this means access to a ready-made, visually engaging content library that can be easily integrated into their lesson plans, saving time and enhancing instructional effectiveness. These sequences cater to diverse learning styles, making complex concepts more accessible and engaging for students. Moreover, they offer a dynamic and interactive element to classroom instruction, encouraging student engagement and facilitating a more immersive learning experience.

 

 

7. Professional development

 

Empower educators with a library of professional development resources through video content. Offer instructional videos, webinars, or interviews with industry experts. By providing easily accessible and engaging materials, you support continuous growth among educators, ultimately benefiting the students.

 

8. Data-driven insights

 

Harness the analytics behind video usage to better understand student behavior. Track which videos are most effective, how long students engage, or where they might struggle. Boclips can help provide these insights to inform content curation and platform improvements, ensuring a more tailored and impactful learning experience.
