A presentation delivered by Courtney Hermann at the 2012 University Film and Video Association meeting.
From 2008-2012, Courtney Hermann and her Documentary Production students participated in the International Documentary Challenge, a timed filmmaking competition where teams from across the world are given a documentary subgenre and a theme, and must create a 4-7 minute film from start to finish in just 5 days.
Courtney and her students have produced 10 films in all--4 were selected as contest finalists and premiered at the Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto. One film garnered additional commendations as the winner of the POV/American Documentary award. Three were selected for inclusion in the "Best of Doc Challenge" DVD, distributed by Typecast Releasing and KDHX Community Media.
This Power Point document, created for a workshop Courtney was invited to present at the University Film and Video Association meeting in 2012, uses experiences with the International Documentary Chalenge as case studies to address how instructors might manufacture a scenario where there’s enough at stake to motivate students to commit themselves to the cause of a collaborative project, and in the process open up a wealth of opportunities to learn about filmmaking and about themselves as filmmakers.

Tips for Getting Your Colleagues to Adopt Universal Design for Learning3Play Media
When most people in higher education hear the phrase “universal design for learning," they think about students with physical disabilities and the accommodations we provide to them in order to help them meet course outcomes.
To help make educational materials and practices inclusive for all learners, this interactive webinar session radically reflects on how faculty members and course designers can adopt Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Presented by Thomas Tobin, author and speaker on quality in distance education, this session will help broaden the focus of UDL beyond learners with disabilities and toward a larger ease-of-use/general inclusion framework.
This presentation will cover:
How accommodations and UDL are very different
What you can do today, within a week, and within a month to reach out to your biggest segment of learners—people on their mobile devices
How you can incorporate UDL elements into your courses
How you can design and retrofit existing course components using UDL principles
How to implement UDL across campus to increase persistence, retention, and satisfaction for all learners
This document outlines a WebQuest lesson plan for 8th and 9th grade photography students. The lesson involves students working in teams to design and build homemade cameras using household materials, based on their research of pinhole camera history and techniques. The process involves defining team roles, researching pinhole photography adaptations, brainstorming designs, building cameras, taking photos, and evaluating results. The goal is for students to apply their photography knowledge creatively while developing collaboration skills.
This guidebook provides tips for taking powerful photos that can strengthen communications products. It recommends moving around and changing perspectives to find the best angle. Photographers should pay attention to lighting and how it interacts with subjects. Getting close to the subject allows viewers to see important details while filling the frame. The background should be considered to avoid distractions. Photos should focus on the eyes of subjects. Engaged audiences and events make good photo opportunities if permission is obtained. Photographers should review and delete unneeded photos.
This document provides a step-by-step guide for creating an effective promotional video for an online course in under 2 minutes. It recommends starting with an intro slide, then a 1-sentence course introduction and credibility statement from the instructor. Next, the video should outline the benefits students will gain from taking the course using specific real-world examples. It then suggests listing the major topics that will be covered without going into detail, describing the ideal target student, and closing with a call to action. Keeping the video under 90 seconds is ideal.
This document outlines the process for planning video lessons, which includes 7 key steps: 1) identifying student objectives, 2) identifying assessments, 3) determining the unit essential question, 4) determining concepts to be taught, 5) determining lesson essential questions, 6) developing the video lesson, and 7) assessing student progress. Each step in the planning process builds upon the previous ones to ensure the lessons taught align with objectives and assess student understanding.
This document provides guidance on video recording and editing techniques. It discusses preparing equipment, lighting, framing subjects, managing audio quality, and conducting practice recordings. Editing tips include using free software for tasks like merging clips, adding soundtracks, and creating subtitles. Animation editing is also addressed, with a recommendation to use Animaker drag-and-drop software. Overall the document offers practical technical tips for planning, shooting, and assembling quality video projects.
Camera shots and angles are important in film and photography to set mood and atmosphere and direct viewer attention. Different shot types include long shots, close-ups, high and low angle shots, and birds eye views. When taking photos, photographers should fill the frame with their subject, use lighting and composition techniques like the rule of thirds, and consider factors like focal points, backgrounds, and action. Students are tasked with taking photos of an object from different angles, like close-up and extreme close-up, to later edit into a print advertisement.
This document outlines the process for planning video lessons, which includes identifying student objectives and assessments, determining the unit essential question and concepts to be taught, developing lesson essential questions, recording and developing the video lesson, and assessing student progress. The process emphasizes understanding the key topics and concepts students should understand, and developing lessons and assessments around those ideas.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skillsRuchiRathor2

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

We recently hosted the much-anticipated Community Skill Builders Workshop during our June online meeting. This event was a culmination of six months of listening to your feedback and crafting solutions to better support your PMI journey. Here’s a look back at what happened and the exciting developments that emerged from our collaborative efforts.
A Gathering of Minds
We were thrilled to see a diverse group of attendees, including local certified PMI trainers and both new and experienced members eager to contribute their perspectives. The workshop was structured into three dynamic discussion sessions, each led by our dedicated membership advocates.
Key Takeaways and Future Directions
The insights and feedback gathered from these discussions were invaluable. Here are some of the key takeaways and the steps we are taking to address them:
