Videos

Videos are essential to delivering blended learning. By using them in an asynchronous flipped manner, they reduce the time lecturers spend explaining fundamental concepts and increase the time spent applying these concepts in synchronous interaction with learners. 

Video recordings of lectures are also required to ensure accessibility, and students benefit from the opportunity to watch them in their own time for learning and revision. 

The University of Glasgow offers four video platforms: Echo360, Zoom, Kaltura and Microsoft Stream. 

Flipgrid is a versatile tool for stimulating discussion and sharing using quick videos.
