On Friday, March 1st, we enjoyed demonstrations from three faculty who have been teaching asynchronously with the interactive video learning tool PlayPosit. We were joined by some teaching all-stars: Debbie Fetter from Nutrition, Mark Verbitsky from Political Science, and Martin Hilbert from Communication. Each of the demonstrations was quick and visually rich, and they prompted questions and conversation from the attendees.

I hope you will appreciate learning about PlayPosit, an instructional design tool that offers instructors simplicity in the form of templates and reusable learning objects, as well as flexibility with regard to use of visuals and interaction. With PlayPosit, faculty can create active learning experiences by layering activities, websites, feedback, videos, questions, and more on top of video, audio, and text. Most of our faculty use it with video.

For those who are intrigued by PlayPosit as a teaching tool, we also offered a bonus 30-minute introductory webinar immediately following DOLCE, co-presented with Stephanie Gates, a trainer and Customer Success Manager from PlayPosit.
