Educational Content Available Through New Research Resource

JoVE is a newly subscribed learning, teaching and research resource available to the University of Utah community. Best known for its video encyclopedia of scientific experiments and science education modules, JoVE offers access to continually updated videos and new educational modules with quiz features that can be embedded into Canvas courses. These modules support undergraduate learning in the sciences, as well as in disciplines such as business, finance, mathematics, nursing, psychology and statistics. [/vc_column_text]

“JoVE is one of the best tools we have for teaching hands-on materials characterization. My students and I created several JoVE Science Education videos on techniques like differential scanning calorimetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, laser flash thermal diffusivity and dilatometry, and together they’ve been viewed well over 100,000 times,” shared Taylor Sparks, Professor of Materials Science & Engineering and Director of Graduate Affairs of the Price College of Engineering. “Watching an expert run an instrument step by step means students arrive in the lab already understanding the protocol, which makes training faster, safer, and more effective. Having unlimited access at the U is a real win for our students and researchers.” 

“JoVE gives students working on research projects access to a wide range of accessible and informative content in a variety of media,” explained Christopher Patrick Miller, Assistant Professor (Lecturer) at the Honors College. “I can see this tool being useful for students beginning projects but also digging deeper into specific concepts or disciplinary problems.” 

With transcripts, text translations, and subtitles available in 15 languages, JoVE makes high-quality educational content more accessible to a diverse range of learners. The platform also features curated playlists of the most recent and most-viewed research and educational videos, helping students, staff, and faculty easily discover relevant and engaging content.
