- Flipping the classroom frees up class time so you can focus on tasks that require student-teacher interaction.
- Videos, assignment walkthroughs, and tutorials are more engaging than slides.
- The following are some tips on video selection and creation:
- Keep it short.
- Videos should be no more than 6 minutes.
- The shorter the better.
- Speak energetically and relatively quickly.
- Don’t worry about production quality.
- High video production value does not appear to be key contributor to high engagement.
- Seek out existing resources (like guides) for creating engaging videos.

- You can also use videos made by others instead of making your own videos.
- Seek out videos shared freely for this exact purpose.
- You may be surprised by how many are out there already.
