Why video is the special sauce to improve student engagement

Interactive video only makes the way your institution communicates with students feel more personal, but it’s also never been easier (or more collaborative) to create these resources. Interactive video:

  • Increases student participation in events and initiatives
  • Enhances campus-wide communication and outreach
  • Provides an engaging alternative to traditional email or text announcements
  • Encourages student-generated content for clubs, events, and leadership programs
  • Allows student creators and collaborators to build new skills they can use as young professionals
