Videos are a great way to increase engagement between you and your students, help summarize important take-aways from your lecture, and add richness to your course.

Before Recording Tips

Create a transcript before recording your video. Not only will this help keep your video concise, but it will expedite DIY captioning later on in the process! Transcripts only contain the text of what is said in the video and you don't need to enter any time codes.

If you intend to reuse your video for general information to post on your course, be general in your explanation. For example, if explaining the contents of your syllabus, mention that the due dates and course assignments presented on-screen may differ than the current syllabus.

Follow these steps to record, upload, and caption your videos.
