Why Video?

Personalize Your Course Through Videos

The use of video creates an up-close and highly personal way to connect with your students, especially in online classes. Video is a way to "humanize" your courses, helping your students better connect to you as the instructor, and your course content. Video also allows students to play and review content at their leisure. Consider using video to provide your students with the following:

• course welcome
• course tour
• teaching philosophy
• introductions to the new course content (new modules, course weeks, activities, themes)
• lectures
• feedback on student work
• and more!

The following pages introduce you to various video-capturing and streaming resources.
