Tips
• Provide an online platform where all course materials and resources are available. – Videos (documentaries, interviews, demonstrations,
TED talks...) ex. UMN Professor using shooting documentaries to
teach climate change and sustainability ex. TedEx video explaining a physics concept through
dance – Scholarly / news articles – Lecture slides – ...

Tips
• Use a Youtube channel as a learning environment for students: – Lecture slides with voiceover ex. UC Berkeley Psychology Professor teaching
neuroscience – Lecture recordings (does not necessarily reduce
attendance as found in Goethe U. research) – Other videos you may possess that support the course
