P06 Up the Quality, but Not the Cost, of Video-based Training
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Monday, November 14

The solo instructional designer often sacrifices quality for time and money when it comes to creating video-based training. It’s expensive to do device captures, run a teleprompter, use light boards, and illustrate ideas with graphics, but these ultimately create a better learning environment and should be a part of the workflow.
Lynda.com has been creating video-based training for over 20 years, and this session takes the Lynda.com video-creation process and refines it to a workflow that can be managed by a single person while not skimping on quality. This workshop will begin with data to help participants understand which bells and whistles in video training really matter to learners. Participants will set up a recording studio in the session that can accomplish their training goals. They will explore how to use minimal-cost devices and programs to create industry-leading video-based training. And finally, they will create a five-minute microlearning video to model the entire process.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to create a video-based recording studio using low-cost equipment
- How to capture live action and screencast video that is high-quality
- How to use a green screen for filming live action
- How to set up a teleprompter for direct-to-camera filming
- How to select the right microphone
- How to use an iPhone or iPad for video capture
Audience:
Novice and intermediate designers and developers.
Technology
discussed in this session:
PowerPoint, Keynote, Captivate, Premiere Pro CC, Camtasia,
ScreenFlick, iPhone, iPad, teleprompter apps and systems, microphones, preamps,
and even a green screen.
