Online videos can inspire – how did that person walk on “water”. Beyond videos being entertaining, students can apply principles from their courses to demonstrate mastery of course material. The goal of this session is for teachers to leave with a worksheet filled with ideas on using videos in new ways in their courses. Examples will leverage my experience with engineering courses where my students author problems that reverse engineer actions in the videos. These real-world problems – affectionately called YouTube problems – bring new, creative, and unique content into all of my courses. While we won’t dive into the research in this session, students solving YouTube problems exhibited improved problem-solving skills and learning attitudes. More recently, YouTube Problems Met Generative Artificial Intelligence, which may or may not be helpful.
