Making Explanatory Videos

Screenshot of explanatory video
Short instructional videos can connect, engage, and inspire — but in many courses the most common use of short video is to explain. This session will introduce faculty to some of the differences between explanations as given in the classroom and as provided through short videos, and introduce three simple techniques —  segmenting, signaling, and weeding — that will make it easier for your students to benefit from your short video presentations.
