M. C. Flux uncovers lessons for video creation from what he calls layered learning on episode 587 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Many students seem to enjoy this and actually learn well from it, so I keep doing it.

I’ve also started creating these little quiz questions in them, but they’re not hard. They’re just to keep their attention going.

I think these students struggle so much with attention that bringing them back with a really simple question just helps.
-M. C. Flux

The fact that students have shorter attention spans is still something we need to pay attention to. I don’t think it’s as bad as people say, but it is actually still a big piece of how I design instruction.
-M. C. Flux

A lot of students are used to rewatching things that they enjoy.
