New feature: Collaborate & edit videos in real time

We're excited to announce a new feature designed with remote and blended learning environments in mind: real-time collaboration.

Teachers and students can edit videos together in real time, regardless of location. Whether you're in the classroom or remote, you can feel like you're editing videos side-by-side.

The feature is currently in beta. Owners of WeVideo for Schools accounts can activate real-time collaboration for teachers and students by logging into WeVideo (detailed instructions below).

WeVideo's Chief Education Officer, Dr. Nathan Lang-Raad, said, Real-time collaboration is a core part of every career field and subject discipline. The same holds true for the classroom. More than ever, learning should be part of a social context, as learners collectively rely on each other's thinking to solve complex problems and create. No matter what subject or concept we teach, collaboration is a crucial component of blended learning.

He added, When students engage in real-time collaboration, they experience the following (both in-person or at home):

Higher ownership and investment in the project

Increased efficiency and productivity, which means they can channel cognitive energy into creative processes

An increase in their individual and collective efficacy

More control over the time, place, path, or pace of learning.

The ability to collectively work together in a blended/remote context

Opportunities to build necessary skills of teamwork and cooperative learning as a part of project based learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways educators teach and students learn. While some students have returned to schools for in-person learning, others are still fully remote and some are doing blended learning, a combination of in-person and remote learning.

No matter what the subject or concept is, collaboration is a key component of blended learning. Work together. Learn new skills together. Get creative together. What will you and your students create using real-time collaboration?
