But.. is video the right choice?

• Content– certification? – personal growth?

• Audience– connectivity– attention span– tech-saviness– learning style

• What are your Learning Objectives?

Aim for 6 minutes or less

• Research at the University of Rochester, 2013 established that the optimal length for online videos is 6 minutes or less

– Average engagement time of any video maxes out at 6 minutes, regardless of its length.

– To maximize student engagement, chunk content into small, bite‐sized pieces.

Video is not difficult anymore

When Richard Dunn found himself alone overnight in Vegas, he made a video with Celine Dion’s 1996 song “All By Myself.”

Dunn did produce the 5-minute video all by himself, creatively using moving walkways, escalators and strategically placed luggage tape.

As Dunn explained on his Vimeo page, “I got a person behind a ticket counter to give me a roll of luggage tape before she left. I then found a wheelchair with a tall pole on the back and I taped my iPhone to that.

I put it on the moving walkway for a dolly shot. I also taped my iPhone to the extended handle on my computer bag.

I would tuck different things under the bag to get the right angle. For the escalator shot I had to sprint up the steps after I got my shot so the computer bag didn't hit the top and fall back down…”

on iOS you can go from i to you

• Not every video needs a lot of editing

• You can go straight from an iphone, ipad or mini to youtube w/ no editing

Then add captions from within youtube

• You can go from an iDevice to iMovie to do minimal edits then upload to youtube
