• Before starting the video, prompt students with questions or specific points to watch for. Assign students or groups to different roles.

• Give them some context by providing students with an overview or outline of the video and show how it relates to lectures or other readings.

• If a video is more than 10-15 minutes, chunk it into sections, pause and ask questions as you go. If creating or using videos for online classes, embed reflection or recall questions that students must complete before moving on.

• Be actively engaged yourself. Don’t leave the room or hide behind the podium checking your phone. Circulate the room, go sit with the back row students.

• When the video is over, have students do a brief turn and talk or written reflection for general impressions. Then ask more specific questions that require recall of what you just watched. Rewind and review sections of the video if necessary.
