August 18, 19, and 20- Video Production for Online Teaching (PublicsLab workshops)
Crash Course Workshop – 18 August 2020
This workshop will take a “crash course” approach to producing videos for online teaching when working with time constraints minimal video production equipment. In this short workshop we will focus on:
- Reviewing the most popular video formats (Where do I sit? Should I use text on screen? Should I use PowerPoint?)
- The importance of camera angles (best placement for your laptop/phone for recording lectures)
- Designing your background for video (Should I sit in front of a blank wall? Or, should I decorate my background?)
- Top three things to prioritize
11:00 – 12:30 via Zoom
Community Feedback Sessions – 19 & 20 August 2020
During these community feedback sessions, Mike Mena will be providing constructive feedback on short 2-3 minute videos created by a handful of instructors/faculty. The goal is to provide a platform for the community to participate in these discussions in addition to Mike’s expert insights.
11:00 – 12:30 via Zoom
