A new study found that the use of video may have reached a tipping point in higher
education. The third annual State of Video in Education report noted that 75% of all students now use video in their assignments and the
share of institutions using flipped classrooms has increased to 58%.
More than half of administrators, instructors, and
students reported that their institution now uses a video solution integrated
into its learning management system (LMS). In addition, video feedback on
assignments has grown from 26% in the 2015 survey to 32% this year.
The survey also found that 93% of the respondents said
they believe video has a positive impact on student satisfaction and 85% said
having video as part of their resource toolkit increases teacher satisfaction.
Nearly 90% agreed that it boosts student achievement levels, while 76% said
they believe it increases student retention rates.
“For
the first time, over 50% of higher-education respondents report that their
institution has now integrated a video solution into the LMS,” said Ron
Yekutiel, chairman and CEO of Kaltura, the video technology provider that
conducted the survey. “If proof were needed that video is now mainstream in
education, then this is it. Those institutions that do not yet have a
comprehensive video strategy in place for the new academic year risk being left
behind.”
