Our Curriculum Specialists dedicated to supporting faculty are available to find the perfect videos to match courses for you.
JoVE videos are accessible 24/7, on and off-campus. They can also be shared while in a Zoom meeting (here’s how).
Ahead of exams, students often seek video explanations of complex topics on YouTube: providing JoVE videos instead ensures that they’re only using high-quality, accurate content!
Supplement your exam study guides with relevant JoVE videos (our Curriculum Specialists can quickly find the right videos for you).
Pair videos with open access resources like Openstax or other textbooks to provide students with visual explanations — we’ve already mapped them for you.
Reinforce topics covered in lectures by assigning related videos to watch after class. Videos can be reviewed multiple times prior to exams, unlike a traditional lecture.
Assign videos to support remedial coursework — students working to catch up on specific topics can be assigned videos as per their individual needs.
