…it forced me to think about how my
modules, with somewhat varied content at
times, had a logical build, both internally and
with other modules, and also encouraged me
to think more about what the objectives of
the modules were…
feedback …making the videos around campus
made me think even more of students
as a part of our community…
…regularly report feeling that they
know me, without ever meeting me…
…some students have reluctantly
admitted that they actually learned
something from the videos and it helped
them prepare for the exams…
