How to Use Clip Comparisons
Introduction
ClassHook’s Clip Comparisons allow students to watch multiple clips about a topic to show different perspectives, angles, views, etc. Using our extensive media library to make clip comparisons, you can quickly and easily:
- Open up classroom discussions to analyze the pros and cons of each clip.
- Compare/Contrast the settings. (What video does or does not include that lacks from the other, etc.)
- Analyze the videos to understand the biases present in each.
And much more.
Clip comparisons streamline the process of performing comparisons with videos, making it easy to view the clips in succession rather than opening different tabs, windows, and presentation slides.
