- 3. How are the videos used? In this online class, VoiceThread was used by the instructor to provide a summary of the class discussion about a case, and to model use of the tool for students, who will use it for their group project presentations. The instructor’s video was embedded in a discussion board post, the students will post a link to their presentations as Bb doesn’t allow students to embed VoiceThreads.

The lectures were recorded in a studio during a summer seminar version of the course, and the videos were cut into short clips, and embedded in web pages. Links to these web pages are provided in Weekly Modules in Compass 2g.
- 5. How are the videos used? In the same blended class, very short clips from the micro-lectures are embedded in “pre-flight” quizzes in Compass 2g. A video is embedded in each quiz question, and sets of questions are drawn from a larger pool. Students are required to complete a “pre-flight” quiz at the beginning of each week, to help them prepare for the one class meeting.
