ClassHook is a digital tool that allows you to find, upload and share video clips that are organized by topic/theme. It is very useful for whole group or small group discussions at all levels. Instructors can play the video to the group after having embedded time-stamped “Pause Prompts”: time-stamped questions that automatically pop-up at the timestamp you've specified. The video will stop at your specified time and your question will appear full-screen in its place. This is the prompt for the class to engage in a discussion based on your prompt. Students could break into small groups to discuss and then return to continue viewing the video.
