Course: Legal Psychology
Instructor: Pekka Santtila
Students Enrolled: 20
Technology used: NYU Zoom, NYU Stream, NYU Classes
Pekka Santtila is currently teaching Legal Psychology to 20 students in China, Europe, and the United States from Finland. He is using NYU Stream to pre-record lectures with embedded video quizzes to encourage student engagement.
Instead of uploading one long lecture on NYU Stream, Santtila has broken each lecture into five to nine short lectures so that students can absorb the knowledge at their own pace. Santtila says that the subject of Legal Psychology has adapted well to a distance learning mode because he normally uses a number of video demonstrations in a classroom setting, and these demos can be adapted to pre-recorded video lectures.
When students are watching each video, they must answer multiple choice and open-ended questions to proceed with the video. Santtila says he always comments on student responses to open-ended questions so that they know that he is reading their answers.
