Video Tools for Formative Learning:
Videos may be used to front-load a lesson, that is, they would be viewed ahead of the next classroom activity. This is what is often used as part of a 'flipped' learning environment.
These first three tools all allow students to watch the prescribed videos and answer formative assessment questions. They may be simple, multiple-choice questions or open-ended constructive questions. Students have control to view, rewind, and replay any content as desired. Teachers can collect results and adapt the classroom lesson, based on the results.
