Producing high quality video for online courses is a daunting challenge, especially when faced with an overwhelming amount of information. In this session we will break down the basics of videography, equipment essentials, and helpful tips for creating high quality instructional videos.
Due to their constant exposure to high quality media, students are constantly raising their expectations for video...And when the quality doesn’t cut it, students won’t watch it.
Thankfully, video equipment is also becoming increasingly available to consumers at increasingly affordable prices. However, with the overwhelming amount of information available about video production, sometimes it feels like the more you learn, the less you know. The goal of this session is to distill essential need-to-know information about video production in an academic setting, from a former professional videographer turned instructional designer.
The main goal of this session is to make video production less intimidating:
