PlayPosit: Meet your instructor

Exemplar thumbnail

Description

Hyunsook Youn, Instructor from California State University, Channel Islands, asks students to record their self-introduction videos at the beginning of each semester to learn more about them in an asynchronous course. In an effort to be more interactive and engaging, PlayPosit is used for this activity. This activity is part of the first-week module, and this video in particular includes a brief instructor introduction, their personality type, their availability for better group project coordination, input for community ground rules, and lastly students are asked to record their self-introduction video. As this is their first PlayPosit exercise, it will also offer them a chance to be familiar with how to submit their responses before getting into a major assignment with a PlayPosit function.
