Ratios for Case Analysis using Voice Thread
Ratios for Case Analysis using Voice Thread
California State University, Dominguez Hills
Chacko Kannothra, Instructor from California State University Dominguez Hills, created a voice thread assignment to help online learners to revise financial and accounting ratios that may be used for case analysis in the strategic management capstone course. The assignment requires students to watch a voice thread (external video) and answer questions provided with the voice thread. Students can submit their responses in multiple formats including audio, video, text, or even upload a file with their responses. This voice thread can be assigned at the beginning of the semester to revisit some of the concepts that students learned in earlier semesters, and used extensively in the capstone course for analysis. Please note that the external video used for this voice thread was recorded by Prof. Melissa Schilling and is available on YouTube.

Using Interactive Videos to Enhance Student Engagement in an Online Asynchronous Course
Using Interactive Videos to Enhance Student Engagement in an Online Asynchronous Course
California State University, Channel Islands
Ellen Lewis, a lecturer at CSU Channel Islands, used PlayPosit to develop five interactive videos for PSY 457: Criminal Behavior, incorporating lecture recordings based on Chapter 3 of the course textbook (Heilbrun et al., 2024). Each video included multiple-choice, true/false, and discussion questions embedded throughout the lecture, prompting students to pause, reflect, and respond before continuing. To evaluate the impact of this interactive format, a post-lecture survey gathered student feedback on their experience compared to traditional lecture recordings without embedded questions. The sample provided here represents the final segment of the lecture.
