We have included some resources in this article to help you get started with Video Note:
Getting to Know You Survey
Along with showcasing her Video Note skills, Clea has also offered an additional resource to share here in the Brightspace Community. This resource is a Getting to Know You Survey created by Michelle Pacansky-Brock, who is an educator and advocate for humanizing online learning.
The link we’ve shared includes a fillable Google form that learners can fill out prior to starting a course. Specifically, within the Google form, learners are asked, “I may leave you feedback in voice or video this semester. How does that sound to you?” Learners are then able to respond with either “that sounds great to me!” or “thanks for asking. I would prefer written feedback”.
