Start smaller than you think

Run one small version of “Use live polls to choose a demonstration” with five relevant participants or one limited publication. Record the questions, responses and completion of the intended next step before expanding.

What to measure

• Meaningful viewing completion
• Relevant questions or inquiries
• Completion of the stated next step

Watch out for

• Promising more than the video teaches
• Using unclear audio or unreadable captions
