Welcome to the YouSeeU Blog!

Why should you use YouSeeU?  The answer is simple: because as learners and educators, we need to talk about it.  The learning platform designed by Dr. Jeff Lewis was created because there was a clear need for a tool to conduct authentic oral assessment online,  through a meaningful video-based exchange between students and their instructors. Establishing rapport and a personalized, educational connection between you and your students?  Creating a community of online learners within a course?  Increasing the level of engagement for students within content and among their classmates?   Those are all the positive outcomes for YouSeeU users as they present themselves on video to demonstrate that whatever the subject matter is, they can not only fill-in-the blank, or write really well, they can talk about it.   That’s our story at YouSeeU.  Now what’s yours?

The YouSeeU Blog debuts today and will be updated on a weekly basis to highlight significant use-cases for YouSeeU activities in the higher education arena from the perspective of educators, instructional designers and students.  This blog is about our customers, their voices and their success stories.  To share your story and be a guest-blogger, please contact Christie Dillon .
