If you plan on using video content in your course, do you have a plan for how you will manage your video content for quality, storage, and accessibility?
Establishing a video management plan will help you keep any videos included in your course relevant, accessible, and easy to manage from semester to semester. Some questions to consider when using videos in your course include:
- What is the purpose of the video in this course?
- Who owns the video?
- How do you plan on recording your own videos?
- Where are your videos stored?
- Where and how do students access these videos?
- Are the videos accurately closed captioned?
- Is the video content still relevant (when reusing a video from semester to semester)?
- If the video is accessed by a link, is the still active for students to access the content (especially when reusing a video from semester to semester)?
What is the purpose of the video in this course?
Like with any technology in a course, videos should be used with a purpose, not just for the sake of including them. Identifying the purpose of the video in your course helps ensure that the video content aligns with module-level objectives and assists students with content comprehension. If you have multiple videos that serve identical purposes, you may want to identify a single video to keep in the course so that students can focus their time on the information in one video instead of on the same information over three videos.
