Today’s eLearning developers are building content in a world of streaming multimedia, YouTube, and traditional media’s blending with web media. New styles of video production and video engagement are being developed to meet the needs of eLearning developers, giving them options for producing video on tiny budgets with relatively little technical expertise and short timelines. Meanwhile, many of the classic strategies of video production still apply today, and the standard questions about bandwidth, file size, compression, and video codecs always come up.

Although it’s becoming ever easier to create video content, producers who understand the challenges (and sometimes advantages) of low production values and high-engagement online video will have a significant advantage in engaging their increasingly multimedia-saturated and mobile learners. The goal of this workshop is to empower you to shoot, edit, and distribute your training video content online. You will learn about all aspects of producing video content for learning.

In this session, you will learn:

• To recognize new learning opportunities afforded by modern online video style (particularly low production values)
• How to shoot video in a style anticipated by today’s learners
• How to edit a video built for eLearning
• The ever-present technical challenges of streaming, file types, and bit rate

Audience:
Novice and intermediate designers, developers, project managers, and managers.

Technology discussed in this session:
