Case Study: Duke University boosts nursing student engagement with WeVideo

Duke University boosts nursing engagement with WeVideo

Duke University's School of Nursing faced the challenge of making its online Masters-level courses more engaging for its tech-savvy working professional students. They needed to move away from traditional lectures to a microlearning approach that would effectively deliver asynchronous content, promote a better work/study balance, and allow for low-maintenance updates to keep pace with rapid changes in healthcare knowledge. To address this, they implemented WeVideo's interactive video tools.

Using WeVideo, lead faculty member Elaine Kauschinger integrated interactive questions into lectures and fostered critical thinking by having students evaluate healthcare-related social media content. This solution successfully enhanced student engagement, made critical information more digestible through microlearning, and met the learners' high technological expectations. The WeVideo platform also allowed for quick and easy updates to course materials, ensuring content remained current.
