Abstract

Research indicates that recorded course content that is shorter and more informal in both style and media format has the greatest impact on student engagement. Recording key concepts, facts, processes, principles, and/or procedures that are core to the curriculum can fully leverage reusable, relevant recordings. This session will provide a design framework for creating recordings that are granular and modular which allows you to repurpose recordings in multiple contexts. This makes the content not only reusable and evergreen but creates a recording process that is sustainable and scalable.
