The students then edit the videos and show them to the class or a larger audience to illustrate their comprehension of the concept. To take this a step further, teachers may also allow students to use resources to self-publish their work.

Stories are also an excellent way to foster a collaborative culture among students, which can be achieved even when students are not in the same room.
