The last stage of collaborative inquiry involves sharing the results publicly. Videos uploaded to YouTube can be shared and celebrated outside of the classroom and anywhere around the world.
Creating educational content through videos is creative, but understanding Google analytics and retention graphs can add a critical thinking side. Teachers can critically reflect on student engagement because Google Analytics allows content creators to view when their audience is engaged in the video, where they are staying and watching the video, and when they are going back or pausing at a certain part of a video.

How can videos be used effectively in the flipped classroom?
It is important to pair video with other pedagogical strategies such as self regulation and time-management.
Reaching the students who need the most support and the ones who need a challenge through universal design. This could be applied to video features that allow students to study at their own pace.
Moore,S. (2016).
1.Provide multiple means of representation
Learners have options for perception as there are alternatives to auditory information. This relies on the teacher providing closed captions so that the tutorial can be read as well as heard. While adding captions, an instructor can also add a script below the video in the description box so that there is an alternative to visual information as well
2. Provide multiple means of action and expression
Students can create their own video playlists that are related to the video a teacher uploads. When watching a video on YouTube, the YouTube algorithim will suggest similar videos and the students have the option to save similar videos into a playlist or share with classmates.
3. Provide multiple means of engagement
Students can choose where to watch and when to watch a video that you have created. This can minimize distractions as students can choose their environment for learning that might be outside of the classroom. Students can stop, pause, and slowdown a video as they wish which provided multiple means of engagement. Teachers can also provide multiple entry points to a video by creating time stamps that students can interact with and click on to go back or to skip forward to a certain part of a video.
Youtube provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small.
