Creating Video Clips

Overview

Research shows that creating short video clips that are 10 minutes or fewer are the best way to share information with your students. If the videos will be used for more than one semester, they are required to have closed-captions.

Advantages of Making Short Video Clips

1. The ability to stop and start explanations and digest information at their own pace.
2. Quick access to a wide range of explanations at any time.
3. An alternative to detailed, text-based instructions which can be cumbersome to follow and decode.
4. Access to the best quality explanations.
5. Access to administrative and procedural information about a course.
