Teaching Methodology 

Classroom Teaching Teacher and learning videos (Blended teaching and Learning)

Blended learning videos benefit students and teachers in several ways:

  1. They give students more time to process information and can have them come to class prepared to discuss and put their learning into practice
  2. Teachers can better maximize class time for higher-order, student-centred, collaborative learning activities
  3. Videos help teachers standardize content for core and required classes
  4. Students can view and review videos at their own pace and during times convenient to them
  5. Blended approaches provide teachers with an appropriate way to incorporate audio and visuals into the learning process
  6. These approaches speak the language of a digital generation
