About the Webinar
In this customer-led session, Blackboard staff will open with a few questions for Elizabeth Jones, J.D., Instructional Excellence Manager/AI Strategist for Teaching and Learning; Nate Lison, Manager of Learning Management Systems and Analytics; and Sara Wiliamson, M.S., Manager of Learning Management Systems and Analytics from Fox Valley Technical College. Then we’ll hand the conversation to you.
Ask how they approached rollout, what worked and what didn’t, how they built faculty adoption, where video fits into teaching and learning, and what students are doing with it now.
If you're at a community or technical college, this session was built with you in mind. Video Studio is designed for educators, not editors - and Fox Valley will talk through real examples of how video has added engagement to two-year degrees, in areas such as manufacturing and agriculture.
What you can ask about
How instructors are using video for feedback, assessment, and discussion without turning it into a major production project
How some instructors are using it to flip their classrooms, moving lecture content outside class time to make room for hands-on work
What happened during rollout—what worked and what didn’t at first
How Fox Valley approached faculty adoption across ten academic divisions
What students notice when video becomes part of everyday learning, including the role of captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions
Why students now upload more video than faculty most months—and what that says about engagement
What they would do differently if they were starting again
As Elizabeth Jones puts it, the data tells the story. In its first year with Blackboard LMS: Video Studio, Fox Valley Technical College grew from 9,192 to 29,664 videos—a 3.2x increase—across ten academic divisions.
