EchoVideo supports several online learning methods including synchronous or asynchronous remote video learning with active engagement and video embedded into the LMS / VLE for online courses. Students can view the posted media, respond to polling questions, and participate in discussions with other students and the instructor about the topic. Within the EchoVideo classroom, students can also take notes and indicate confusion when reviewing videos or participating in live classes remotely.
With this type of engagement, research shows that students can often learn just as well remotely as they do in class. So we believe that EchoVideo can be an integral component of your remote-learning contingency plans, due to COVID shutdowns, quarantine, or any other reason your students cannot be on campus.
The links on this page are designed to help you understand the possible ways to use EchoVideo for remote learning, and see how other institutions and instructors have implemented aspects of EchoVideo to their (and their students') advantage.
