Everyone knows that video can be a powerful tool for engagement and instruction in online classes. But what might a comprehensive strategy look like – one that encompasses all the classes in a university first year sequence, one that aims to develop an intentional roster of student-facing video content, and one that is designed to support student success while providing an additional tool for adjunct faculty and advising partners?
Everyone knows that video can be a powerful tool for engagement and instruction in online classes. But what might a comprehensive strategy look like – one that encompasses all the classes in a university first year sequence, one that aims to develop an intentional roster of student-facing video content, and one that is designed to support student success while providing an additional tool for adjunct faculty and advising partners? In this presentation, we’ll describe the genesis of the project and walk you through the development – including our roll-out plan to generate faculty consensus and buy-in, the on-boarding content-creation materials, the conceptual framework for the videos themselves, and the production cycle all leading to the launch of our YouTube page. We’ll also share some of the (always changing!) analytics data we gathered, discuss how we got the word out to other stakeholders within the University, and to students, and we’ll conclude by pointing the way forward with practical tips and lessons learned along the way.
