Community Challenge Receipt of Learning Recap 🧾 We asked educators in our community: What is one way students can show they truly understand a concept in the classroom, especially as AI makes it easier than ever to find answers? This challenge was inspired by our State of Active Learning Report, where 84.8% of educators shared concerns about students using AI to bypass real understanding. The responses focused on one big idea: moving beyond answers and making understanding visible. Congratulations to our winner, Sarah Arreguin, who shared a strategy where students created videos teaching step-by-step problem solving. By explaining concepts in their own words, students demonstrated real understanding, not just repetition. Join the community to explore more educator ideas, join future challenges, and see how others are designing learning that goes beyond the answer:

Steal this lesson: Deeper Dive Interview Instead of having students just read about a topic, have them interview their way into understanding. In this activity, students work in pairs to record a video interview where one student takes on the role of interviewer and the other shares insights on a chosen subject. This approach supports deeper inquiry as students design questions, practice communication skills, and synthesize knowledge in their own words. It can be used as part of a research project, inquiry unit, or project-based learning experience. To support different learners, provide question stems, model strong interview questions, or start with a shared class topic before moving into student choice. Aligned ISTE Standards: • Empowered Learner 1.1.c • Global Collaborator 1.7.a Steal it, adapt it, and put student voice at the center of learning. Learn more about this lesson:

Families don’t choose schools based on messaging alone anymore. They choose the schools where they can actually see learning, culture, and student growth in action. That’s why visibility has become such an important part of enrollment, engagement, and communication for charter schools. Our new Charter School Playbook explores how schools are using video to: • Make learning visible • Turn passive video into active learning • Share authentic classroom moments • Communicate without burnout We also break down why authentic classroom experiences are becoming one of the strongest differentiators in a school-choice environment.

Classroom conversations don’t have to stop at written discussion boards. With WeVideo’s ClassFeed, students can respond to lessons, prompts, and each other using video, creating a more interactive and engaging learning experience. Video responses help bring student voice into the conversation while encouraging collaboration, creativity, and deeper participation. Try bringing your classroom to life today! #WeVideoWednesday

Higher education is no longer choosing between synchronous or asynchronous learning. The real opportunity is designing experiences that make both meaningful. At Winston-Salem State University, faculty are using interactive video to create more engaging, accessible, and student-centered learning experiences across online instruction. In asynchronous counseling courses, interactive video helped students demonstrate skills, receive clearer feedback, and spend less time on tedious transcription work. In synchronous sociology courses, live engagement tools helped create more interactive and collaborative online discussions. Different teaching styles. Different course formats. Same priority: creating learning experiences that keep students engaged and supported. The takeaway is clear. Technology is most impactful when it removes barriers, increases participation, and gives educators more ways to connect with learners wherever they are. #HigherEd #EdTech #ActiveLearning

1 feature. 3 ways to use it. Real-time collaboration isn’t just about working together, it’s about learning together in the moment. With collaborative editing, students can co-create video projects in a shared workspace, turning group work into an active, visible process. • Co-create ideas in real time by having students build scenes, scripts, and structure together as they think through their story • Strengthen feedback loops by allowing peers to comment, revise, and refine work instantly during the editing process • Support role-based learning by giving students ownership of different parts of a project while still contributing to a shared final product Same feature. Three different learning experiences. More meaningful collaboration. How would you use real-time collaboration in your classroom?

Accessibility isn’t a feature add-on. It’s part of creating learning experiences where every learner can participate, create, and be heard. Today, we’re recognizing Global Accessibility Awareness Day and the importance of building digital spaces that are accessible and inclusive for everyone. Digital accessibility means people with disabilities can independently access, engage with, and create digital content and experiences. And with more than one billion people worldwide living with disabilities or impairments, accessibility impacts all of us. At WeVideo, we're committed to continually improving accessibility across our platform and creating tools that support inclusive learning and communication for all users. Because when technology is designed with accessibility in mind, it creates better experiences for everyone.

Online engagement doesn’t improve by accident, it improves through intentional course design. At The University of Texas at San Antonio, Dr. Lorenzo Brancaleon set out to solve a familiar challenge in online Physics courses: declining student participation. His solution was a shift from traditional, high-stakes testing to a gamified learning experience. In Thermal Physics, the course was redesigned into “levels” with low-stakes assessments and built-in checkpoints to keep students progressing and engaged. In later iterations, he refined the model further by removing rigid levels and introducing interactive video, group collaboration, leaderboards, and badges. The impact: stronger student interaction, more consistent engagement, and a course structure built to support both quality learning and long-term academic success. A clear example of how thoughtful, game-inspired design can reshape how students show up in online learning. #ActiveLearning
