This summer the Instructional Design team has been experimenting with quick, easy to create videos. Because so many of your students have cell phones, iPads, Surfaces, and/or laptops with video capabilities, these web tools can be used to quickly engage students. Consider a 6 second Vine or 15 second Instagram movie as a student introduction. You also might consider one of these movies as a quick and fun introduction to your class or a “meet the instructor” video.
If you haven’t tried making one of these videos, we encourage you to take 15 minutes and try it out. It’s quick, it’s free, and it’s fun! Remember, these don’t have to be professional– they are merely quick snapshots. If you are still skeptical, you might enjoy reading this article: Vine in Education.
