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. Reference Heilbrun, K., Greene, E., & Bradfield Douglass, A. (2024). Understanding crime.

Assignment Information Video Production using Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools
California State University, Channel Islands
Ryan Murphy, Assistant Professor of Business Communication at California State University Channel Islands, created an assignment information video using HeyGen (an AI avatar video creation tool) and ChatGPT.

Video instructions keep students engaged and they can be replayed as many times as necessary. Acknowledgement to Dr. Stephen Lind of the University of Southern California who presented this concept at the Association for Business Communication Western Regional Conference (Spring 2024), where he shared both practical outcome of AI videos like this as well as technical instructions for creating them.
