In recent years, the notion of leveraging video for streamlining learning has gained significant traction. For instance, in the flipped classroom approach, people watch short videos introducing them to the content before an in-person or virtual class experience, freeing up class time for them to apply the knowledge they’ve gained. However, successfully using this approach requires careful preparation and often demands that instructional designers, instructors, or facilitators master skills related to video production, involving a time commitment that can discourage these time-strapped L&D professionals from experimenting with this innovative technique.

This session will help you address the concerns that may be preventing you from producing your own videos for flipped classrooms or other uses. You’ll look at an overview of the entire production process, from the resources you’ll need to get started to information on how to create and distribute your videos. You’ll also experience a real-time demonstration of recording and editing a short video, allowing you to witness the entire process from start to finish. You’ll leave with the key knowledge you’ll need to start producing your own videos.

• About the unique challenges of creating video-based lectures
