More than two-thirds want to stick with a hybrid of in-person and online learning while 27% of educators “want to rethink education entirely,” according to the State of Video in Education Survey by cloud video provider Kaltura.
After remote teaching, the use of video in higher ed is growing fastest in the following areas: lecture capture, flipped classrooms, internal communications, personal introductions and instructor feedback.
A large majority of educators said that video has bolstered student achievement and many teachers also reported positive impacts on their own job satisfaction.
