# Inspired Learning Through Classroom Management Software

## Overview

Erin Blauvelt has spent her career in instructional design and is the Managing Instructional Designer at Clarkson University. Loretta Driskel has helped individuals and teams in a variety of educational settings and is now the Senior Instructional Designer at Clarkson University. They use Echo360 to focus on the E of Evidence in Echo360’s e3 formula by more accurately and statistically measuring the learning impact and outcomes of students using EchoVideo. Their results will have a meaningful impact on the future of learning at Clarkson and beyond.

## What You'll Learn

- How to record classroom videos for asynchronous viewing
- How to measure synchronous and asynchronous use of videos
- How to pinpoint the data points you want for your study

## Classroom management software that gives an accurate snapshot of how students use asynchronous classrooms

Management software that can measure how average students make use of online resources such as recorded lectures offer instructors a good look into how students most effectively learn. A teacher has a platform and students take notes as much as possible during that time, but is that enough? With Blauvelt and Driskel’s study, we learn that the number of reviews their lectures receive may indicate that students need to view content numerous times in order to retain the information effectively. By recording their lectures in EchoVideo, they are able to use features in Echo360 to indicate how many additional views their lectures are receiving and other information to help them learn detailed information about what is drawing students to review their lectures once or multiple times.

**Jeff Peterson:** **Welcome to EchoCast and welcome Clarkson University’s Instructional Design dynamic duo, Erin Blauvelt and Loretta Driskel. Erin is the Managing Instructional Designer at Clarkson and she has spent a career in instructional design and consulting in both academia and business. Loretta is the Senior Instructional Designer at Clarkson and has also spent quite a prolific career helping individuals and teams in a variety of educational settings unlock their learning potential.**

**Erin:** Sure. I’m going to say about seven years or so ago, Clarkson University acquired Union Graduate College in Schenectady, and upon that, we brought in a number of graduate courses that were online courses.**

**Erin:** It provides us a lot more opportunity to give students a whole host of things that weren’t available years ago just because instructors didn’t know how to record things. **

**Loretta:** Okay, so it’s similar to Erin’s Inspiration Point. She and I think a lot alike. Down the road, we hope to be looking at those polling and other engagement tools.**
