Trial & Error
Video Length
Keeping it Short & Focused
Initial videos were too long, leading to low completion rates. We experimented with micro-lectures under 8 minutes, paired with quick comprehension checks.
Classroom Entry

Peer Problem-Solving
Structured Collaboration
Students struggled with unstructured group work. Introducing clear roles—facilitator, recorder, reporter—transformed discussions into productive problem-solving sessions.
