From One Video to Campus-Wide Impact: A Librarian’s Playbook

Dr Constance Caddell, University Archivist and Librarian at Tuskegee University, highlights two practical reasons faculty value JoVE’s resources: video playlists help them tailor content to their classes, and Canvas integration makes those videos easier to use in teaching.

Librarians can increase real course use by focusing on a few practical steps:

• ▪️ Start with one high-impact course where a video can reach a large number of students, creating immediate visibility and a clear proof point for broader adoption.
• ▪️ Support faculty in creating ready-to-use playlists for their courses, so content is already structured and aligned, reducing prep time.
  
• ▪️ Help faculty integrate videos and quizzes into the LMS, where students can access them easily, increasing the likelihood that content is actually used.
  
• ▪️ Help faculty use videos to cut down on repeated setup or explanation in large classes.
  
• ▪️ Turn one successful use case into a repeatable model for wider adoption across campus.

When librarians help faculty use videos in ways that are simple and repeatable, they support broader adoption, stronger engagement, and more consistent instruction across campus.

Start with one course, one instructor, and one immediate teaching need. From there, build a simple, repeatable approach that can act as a model to scale across other classes and strengthen learning support.
