Description¶

Instructors in the case study courses assigned guided lecture outlines or note-taking activities that students completed while watching recorded lectures and submitted for credit. A biology instructor explained that students "never extract the information" from videos alone, so questions about the script made the assignment "go from passive to active." The geology instructor used the submitted outlines to track engagement.
