Using Panopto to Encourage Deeper Learning and Reflection in a Writing Course

Abstract

Due to teaching limitations during the Covid-19 pandemic, the University of Waikato undergraduate course ENSLA103 shifted to online delivery, using the Learning Management System Moodle for materials and the online video platform Panopto for lectures. In response to declining viewer statistics for videos recorded in Panopto, course instructors endeavoured to enhance interactivity in lectures through embedded comments and integrated quizzes. This chapter explores the strategies employed to boost student engagement and shares observed outcomes, aiming to rejuvenate interest and deepen understanding through interactive video elements.
