One of the biggest questions before adopting any edtech platform is whether it will work with your teaching methodology.

Edpuzzle, which started as a safe, interactive video learning platform and is now evolving to make any teaching material interactive, seamlessly fits in with all of the modern teaching methodologies.

Read on to find out how you can use Edpuzzle to combine online interactive learning with your preferred teaching methodology!

How to Use Edpuzzle with Flipped Learning

What is flipped learning? With this methodology, students learn new concepts at home through videos and then apply their knowledge during in-class activities. You can check out our deep dive on The Beginner’s Guide to the Flipped Classroom to learn more!

Edpuzzle fits so well into the flipped classroom methodology because you can assign interactive videos with embedded questions for homework and get real-time analytics on student understanding so you know where you need to dedicate your efforts in class. Plus, it gives your students autonomy through self-paced learning.

How to Use Edpuzzle with Blended Learning

What is blended learning? It combines in-person instruction with digital resources, offering a mix of online and face-to-face learning experiences. A great starting point is Dr. Catlin Tucker’s book, Balance With Blended Learning.

For blended learning, Edpuzzle acts as a bridge between in-person and online learning by providing engaging videos that you can record yourself or find one that’s all ready to go for your students. You can use Edpuzzle to differentiate your instruction and tailor content to your students’ needs. Finally, it encourages independent learning while maintaining teacher oversight – the best of both worlds!

How to Use Edpuzzle with Personalized Learning

What is personalized learning? It focuses on adapting instruction to individual student needs, strengths, and interests, which ensures that each student progresses at their own pace.

Where does Edpuzzle come in? It’s easy to customize your videos and track individual progress. It also allows students to rewatch and interact with content at their own speed, so you can find or create differentiated assignments to meet your students’ diverse learning styles.

Remember, on Edpuzzle you can also assign a video to a specific group of students and even create different versions of the same video to match their individual needs!

How to Use Edpuzzle with Project-Based Learning

Wondering what project-based learning is? It engages students in real-world challenges, promoting problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Edpuzzle’s student projects feature is perfect for project-based learning! It lets students become the teachers and create or find their own video and add embedded questions. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out our article on 7 Ways to Use Student Projects With Edpuzzle.

How to Use Edpuzzle with Gamification

If you’ve ever played a video game, you know what gamification is! It incorporates game elements like points, leaderboards, and challenges to boost motivation and engagement.

Edpuzzle’s Live Mode encourages friendly competition as students can answer questions on their own devices individually or in teams while you project the video and questions on screen. Coming soon to Edpuzzle, you’ll be able to enjoy even more gamification features like a leaderboard, points, sound effects, and animation with Edpuzzle’s new Quizzes feature, currently in beta!

How to Use Edpuzzle with Cooperative Learning

What is cooperative learning? It emphasizes collaboration among students to achieve shared learning goals, fostering teamwork and communication skills.

Edpuzzle supports group discussions and peer interactions with Live Mode so students can work together to come up with a solution as a group when the teacher pauses the video at a question. It also encourages collaborative problem-solving by allowing students to work on shared student projects where they can engage in peer feedback and constructive critique.
