Summary
Instructional videos are a common and useful way to dispense knowledge to learners. This hour-long training will provide a step-by-step plan to create videos that includes a consideration of planning, technical basics, recording software, Universal Design of Learning, accessibility and efficient ways of sharing instructional video.
Abstract
Instructors often use videos to dispense content to learners. Although many feel a typical recorded class lecture is sufficient to convey knowledge, this presentation outlines a step-by-step process which will help ensure both effectiveness and accessibility for learners. Sub-topics of planning and technical basics include: video objectives, longevity, lighting, audio, the need for practice, and various tools to be used for recording. Simple ways to include accessibility features will include easy captioning with a transcript, including audio descriptions and suggestions on how to implement Universal Design of Learning. Finally, participants will be instructed on ways to effectively share instructional videos, both free sites and examples of instructional video at Texas Tech.
