Is there a CBE program with more videos?

[ss20ts]

Ss20ts - I am not sure if you realize it or not, but the tone of your writing in this particular thread is kind of judgmental and dismissive.   In a way, you come off as giving every excuse in the book on why it’s too hard for them to provide videos.  At no point did I say I didn’t expect a lot of reading or a replacement for reading.   What I WOULD love to see is videos “to enhance the reading materials and show examples”.   I really don’t care if they are plucked from youtube, or recordings of live classes, or some adjunct recording from their iphone in their basement.  I asked if there were programs that seemed to have more videos.   Maybe I shouldn’t have asked the rhetorical question on why they don’t have them.  For me, if I go in to a reading material that includes topics that are familiar, (like from a video I just watched), I seem to be able to connect with it better.   As someone who has worked in a professional setting for about 20 years or so, at no point have I found that employers expect tons of reading and writing.  It seems so silly to me that school is set up that way.

There is no tone in writing. Tone is created by the reader/interpreter. I'm am not being dismissive. I don't know how many videos are in your classes as I am not in them. Very few people on here have attended Walden. As I previously stated, the CBE program I was in had videos (they were not created by our professors). They were videos that supplemented the material. They didn't replace the reading. Our coursework was based on all of the reading not the videos. 

I said to contact Walden for a variety of reasons which I didn't think needed to be explained to a grad student, but here goes. 

1. Your course instructor may have additional material for you available by contacting them. This is the case at WGU which has a ton of videos and additional videos are available from the CI's. These aren't WGU videos I'm talking about either. They're found on YouTube.
2. Walden may have additional resources available on social media as WGU does. WGU has numerous Facebook groups. These are very interactive by fellow students. There are Facebook groups which are only open to enrolled students and the rest of the world cannot access. Walden may also do this, but you'd need to ask them as they would need to accept you. 
3. You may be the first person to ask for more videos. You may be the 100th person to ask for videos. In either case, it may be something Walden wants/needs to know so they can provide the correct ones for the material covered in their classes. 
4. If you have a disability (a reading disability, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, etc.), then Walden needs to by law make accommodations under the ADA. They would need to know the student has a disability and what accommodations are necessary that they can make.


There may be other reasons to speak to Walden about this. I've been in many online programs and none - so far - have videos which replaced the reading. None are all video except for a class I attempted on OnlineDegrees.com, but the videos were horrible and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I know that it's undergrad, but ASU seems to be able to provide videos for their cheap courses just fine. Some of them are 5+ years old. It's mainly adjuncts and/or TAs that do most of the grading and whatnot. OnlineDegree, ONU, and XAMK all source videos from sites like YouTube.

Even if a school doesn't have the budget to create their own videos, you can't tell me that there is no graduate-level video content freely available out there... somewhere. IMO, if you are already linking to outside articles for content (I think Vle045 said that Walden does that), there's really no reason not to include video content as well except for some elitist view of what education is that hurts neurodiverse people.

We don't even know what videos Walden has available! The OP never stated if there were any or if they reached out to the instructor for more videos. 

You're really grasping at straws about what I said. ONE MORE TIME! I HAVE ADHD! So I totally understand the need for extra help. I also have an autoimmune disease that is slowly crippling me. So yeah I do know that people need help. Who do you think recommended UMPI to ashkir because of the way they make accommodations? ME! I know about his health issues and knew UMPI would help. 

I NEVER said no include any video content. Students who need help need to ASK for it in their classes! That's not elitist. That's just a fact. NO one here can actually help them. They need to ask for help in their courses or from the disability services office at their school. 

Most online programs do include video content. It doesn't replace the reading though. If that's what someone needs, then they really need to reach out to the school and ask for those services.
