Keynote Abstract
When most people think of engineering lectures (online or in person), ‘fun’ is probably not the first thing to come to mind. Yet, fun experiences are more memorable and can be very motivating for learners. With the rise of pedagogical approaches like ‘flipped learning’ and online education accelerated by the pandemic, online lecture videos are more widely available today. However, most educators are not fully utilizing the potential that video lectures offer to more effectively engage their students and save themselves time in the future. I will share my perspective on developing lecture videos that are an asset to educators while making engineering education more memorable and accessible.
