Got Lecture Videos? Use Panopto!

Due to security updates, we are no longer recommending that faculty upload recorded lectures or other course-related videos to our GW HSP Tech YouTube account. Instead, we are encouraging you to try Panopto, a video recording/streaming tool licensed through GW IT. Panopto is integrated with Blackboard, so there’s no need to copy and paste those pesky embed codes! Want to give Panopto a try? We’ve got several tutorials on our website, but we recommend getting started with these:

The Spacing Effect

Have you heard terms like spaced repetition, retrieval practice, distributed learning, and spaced learning and kind of lumped them all together in your head? Well, there is a lot of evidence that they work to improve learning and they are different things. Check out this not-too-long blog post with helpful graphics illustrating the differences.

To learn more about these topics, check out these practical pdf guides on How to Use Retrieval Practice to Improve Learning and How to Use Spaced Retrieval Practice to Boost Learning from retrievalpractice.org and the Washington University in St. Louis.
