This workshop will discuss the merit of using video prompts prior to class as a means of encouraging student participation and engagement in the classroom.  Specifically, we will discuss the utilization of brief videos serving as an introduction to the daily material prior to daily class meetings in a principles of accounting course.  These videos serve to present the concepts of the discussion to the students ahead of time, allowing them to gain an understanding of them outside of class.  This allows professors and students to use classtime for more hands on application problems.
