Enhancing Student Engagement in Life Sciences
Challenge
A life sciences department needed a more engaging way to teach complex lab procedures. Traditional text-based materials were challenging for students, affecting their grasp of critical experimental techniques.Solution
Silda introduced JoVE's video-based resources to the curriculum. JoVE's visual demonstrations provided students with clear, step-by-step guidance on lab procedures, which simplified learning.Result
The use of JoVE increased student comprehension by 60%, with students showing greater confidence in conducting lab work independently. Course evaluations also reflected a higher level of engagement and understanding.
Bridging the Gap in Online Science Education
A university transitioning to online learning faced challenges teaching practical science courses remotely. Students struggled to understand lab-based concepts without hands-on access.
Solution
JoVE’s video library was integrated into the online curriculum, providing visual demonstrations of experiments across multiple disciplines. This allowed students to observe complex procedures virtually.Result
Student performance improved by 45%, and instructors reported fewer requests for additional guidance. The platform enabled students to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications, even in a remote setting.
