Going Multimodal: Creating Video and Audio Supplemental Materials to Aid Student Academic Success

One of the challenges in higher education is consistent coverage of course material. Synchronous interaction such as live class meetings play a vital role in helping students build community and rapport with their instructors.

However, while class discourse creates ample opportunities for growth in learning, time for discussions often removes time from covering important concepts. This becomes especially evident in teaching multiple sections, where one section may have time to cover all the concepts while another does not due to class questions and discussions. In order to bridge this gap in information, educators should consider providing multimodal supplements highlighting crucial course content.

This presentation will analyze the inclusive benefits of approaches such as the podcast and model video and how they support students with different literacy levels and special needs. This presentation will also guide attendees in constructing their own podcast and video series with programs like Spotify and Kaltura.
