Overview
WeVideo is a cloud-based platform designed to support and enrich teaching, learning, and collaboration. As a browser-based tool, it requires no special hardware or software and is compatible with both Windows and macOS, integrating seamlessly with Mediasite and the Brightspace LMS.
Instructors can utilize interactive features such as multiple-choice and true/false questions, free-response questions, clickable hotspots, and opportunities for peer feedback.
WeVideo also enables meaningful feedback through auto-grading and supplemental materials like external links, images, and audio files. Its analytics tools track viewer engagement and understanding, facilitating targeted follow-ups. Personalized learning paths using branching logic can especially benefit asynchronous or hybrid courses.
Let WeVideo help you transform passive lectures into active learning experiences and encourage your students to think critically and engage with your content.
