more than half of students are using closed captions in their educational videos at least sometimes. Although one might expect students with disabilities to report using captions at much higher rates, this study shows that students not reporting disabilities use captions almost as frequently, with more than 50 percent using them sometimes or more often;

Among those who reported using closed captions, the vast majority find the captions to be at least moderately helpful.
-
When asked why captions are helpful, respondents overall expressed strong agreement that captions help students focus, retain information, and overcome poor audio. Open-ended responses further illustrate that students find captions to be helpful learning aids. Captions help students with comprehension, accuracy, engagement, and the retention of information transmitted in course videos.

Pass out course evaluations early in the semester and focus on making sure students can tell you care. If you wait until the end of the semester, struggling students may have dropped out and you won't have time to adjust your teaching style. Set clear learning objectives for each unit so students know exactly what to study and feel more in control of their learning. Without those, "We were training students not to show up for class, wait until two days before the test, and then cram," Holland said. "We wondered why students didn't retain any of the information." Create 10-minute videos for each objective that students can watch and show up to class prepared to discuss. When it comes time to review, a student can read the unit objective and watch the corresponding video. Give frequent quizzes, essays, and group work so both the instructors and students know where they stand and students stay engaged. Provide early, intrusive interventions like meeting with every student who scores below a 70 on the first test.

In other words, faculty say that they do not want to teach online and do not believe it helps students learn more effectively, but when asked about the tools and technologies that enable online learning, faculty believe that their teaching would be improved by their use.
-
Faculty seek technology support from their institution’s help desk first, then figure it out themselves, then ask colleagues.
-
The greater a faculty member’s skill in classroom management, the more likely the faculty member is to encourage or require students to use devices in the classroom.

I don't think people with existing skills will ever adopt generative AI as part of their daily practice. Instead, I think we're going to see lines drawn in the sand. After all, the folks who have those skills worked to establish them, often spending years honing such skills and going into debt to establish mastery in their fields. I fully expect to see many people bias generative AI as a form of cheating. Early testing shows that those with underdeveloped or emerging skills rather than those who have mastered skills are the most likely to benefit from adopting generative AI in their jobs. This suggests that such adoption could benefit those unprepared, unmotivated, and struggling students the most. It also suggests that their higher-performing peers will see the least amount of help from adopting generative AI. What's lost in this is we want as many students as possible to develop mastery in skills for their studies and their future careers, not use generative AI as a crutch to help them pass. ... I said this last year and think it rings truer today-the mark of future mobility will not be having access to a college education. Rather, it will be if you could afford to go to an institution where a human being taught you or if you had to attend one where you learned from an algorithm.
