  15. Why I love being a part of OB221’s video projects… My favorite part of the process is watching the audience watch the final product. I look for reactions: laughter, silence, gasps, etc. because it signals to me that the students are engaged. It gives me a rewarding feeling knowing that I am supporting students’ learning and pushing the boundaries of higher education pedagogy Yvonne Tran, OB Video RA

Some Lessons • Students are incredibly engaged by video and film • It’s easier than you think to create quality video • Technology can be an enabler of learning as well as teamwork • Learning can be moved across space and time through video • Enhanced Creativity, Collaboration, Engagement, Learning
