Teaching in Higher Ed Update // Layered Learning: Designing video with Intention and Authenticity with M. C. Flux
|
Reader, here's your weekly Teaching in Higher Ed update. On Episode 587, I welcome Dr. Flux from the University of Colorado Boulder with a joint PhD in neuroscience and clinical psychology, to Teaching in Higher Ed. We explore the art of intentional and authentic video creation for layered learning in higher education. Dr. Flux shares his approach to designing educational videos that blend science, storytelling, and social media aesthetics, focusing on making content students truly want to watch. We discuss student feedback, the balance between preference and effective learning, and the challenges of adapting video strategies for both asynchronous and in-person classes. We also cover practical advice for educators starting with video, and the value of both predictability and creative spontaneity in course design. Resources from the episode:
