Good instruction starts with good pedagogy: know your learning objectives and design around them. The same is true for developing good instructional videos: design the video around your learning objectives.
Getting started
Options for videos range from precisely honed productions to quick screencasts and even student produced videos. By integrating applicable visual elements with engaging questions, activities, or problem-solving exercises, you’ve created a mini-lesson that can move your students further and faster than you may have imagined. The links below can help you imagine how video might align with your instructional goals, how you’ll assess the learning, and what sorts of resources you might need to accomplish your project.

Community: Begin your course with a video that introduces you and the course content, setting a welcoming tone. Share something personal about your passion for the subject to create a connection with your students.
Agency: Provide a selection of videos on the same topic with different focuses, allowing students to choose based on their interests or learning needs. This choice empowers students and tailors learning.
Representation: Include examples, stories, and case studies from a diverse range of cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds in your videos. This representation can help all students feel seen and valued.
Equal Access: Transcripts and captions can be provided (auto-generated or self-created) along with your videos to provide support to those who may need to read along.
