Student-produced videos for exam review in mathematics courses

Abstract

Videos have been used in classrooms for decades, but student-produced video has recently become a viable, economical option to enhance learning. Students were asked to create videos to be used for their exam review in two different undergraduate mathematics courses: Differential Equation and Complex Analysis. Students were then surveyed about their opinions on the project and its helpfulness for exam review. Students enjoyed the project, found it engaging and most of them viewed the videos again outside of class. Students agreed that creating videos helped them learn the material better. However, students still preferred instructor-led review over student videos for exam review.
