About the Event
As academic and personal demands increase, students are relying on video more than ever to keep up, study effectively, and prepare for assessments. Yet many institutions still lack clear visibility into how students actually use video, where they struggle, and what truly helps them retain information.
In this live webinar, we’ll explore the real study behaviors and challenges institutions often overlook, and how modern video learning environments can better support comprehension, reduce unnecessary rewatching, and help students stay on track throughout the term.
