Teaching & Pedagogy Tips

• Assign tutorials for project or course work

• Incorporate LinkedIn Learning in your syllabi

• Provide tutorials to supplement a course

• Align video content with a project you have assigned in class (e.g. if students are creating multimedia project, they may need to watch videos on using Photoshop or iMovie in order to complete the project)

• Have students answer specific questions about the content in the video (e.g. there can be a set of guiding questions they can go through as they watch to help them understand the material better)

• Have students ask questions or share notes about the content in the videos - take it a bit further and use tools such as the built in note taking tool for online discussions that can be shared with the whole class

• Have students create a quick guide to using the tool they learned about in the video, to share with other students

• Assign students sections to take notes on to then share with the class, such as "most helpful tips."

• Discussion forum: Post a reflection or an area for students to troubleshoot each other's questions.

• Don't quiz students on the videos. Students may already know the technology and the LinkedIn Learning video tutorial shouldn't be mandatory unless it is being used for a necessary (and authentic) task. 

• LinkedIn Learning tutorials should be viewed as self-help, point-of-need tool rather than a part of the curriculum, unless it is a basic computer science course, or in a scenario where the video would be essential to student learning.
