This was a workshop designed to showcase how to create course content using the video express rooms on Purdue's campus.

1. Creating Engaging Course
Content Using Video
Express

2. Question…..

3. Today’s Goals
Leverage Creation of Course Content using Video Express

4. P.O.S.T.
How do we MAKE the most of visual media?
1. Purpose (of the video)
2. Organizing (the video)
------------- (before recording)-----------
1. Show (important parts) &
2. Tell (the rest)

5. Purpose
If we think outside of the “traditional lecture capture”
model - what are some other ways we can
use video to engage learners in course
content, outside of class?

6. Purpose
Post-Class Review:
Case: You noticed in your
most recent class, many
students (and one in
particular, especially)
wasn’t grasping one or
more big ideas.

7. Purpose
First Exposure:
Case: You are going to be
introducing a key concept and
you want to prepare them for the
big ideas so they come to class
with a working understanding.

8. Purpose
First Exposure:
“The Key is to think about your particular situation and
students before selecting materials that will provide both a
personalized and diverse introduction to the material”
(Bowen, 2012, p. 113).

9. Purpose
Demonstration:
Case: You want to
demonstrate a procedure on
how to properly take blood
pressure the “old fashioned
way.”

10. Organizing your Content
What’s the magic number when it comes to video length?
~5-7 minutes

11. Organizing your Content
Hook Body Conclusion

12. ● Attention Getter (~30-45 seconds)
○ Trigger EMOTION and be
RELEVANT (Medina, 2008)
○ S.U.C.C.E.S. - Made to Stick
Principles
○ Bad Example
Organizing your Content
Hook

13. Organizing your Content
Body ● Content (~4-5 minutes)
○ Start “big picture” then narrow
in
■ Brain processes meaning
before detail
■ Signposting (where are we?
We are here! (Medina, 2008)

14. Organizing your Content
Conclusion
● Summary (~1 minute)
○ What are the key-takeaways?
○ “Bookending” - Go back to the
beginning
○ If applicable - go back to the
attention getter?

15. If the balloons popped, the sound wouldn't be able to carry since
everything would be too far away from the correct floor. A closed
window would also prevent the sound from carrying, since most
buildings tend to be well insulated. Since the whole operation
depends on the steady flow of electricity, a break in the middle of
the wire would also cause problems. Of course, the fellow could shout,
but the human voice is not loud enough to carry that far. An
additional problem is that the string could break on the instrument.
Then there would be no accompaniment to the message. It is clear
that the best situation would involve less distance. Then there would
be fewer potential problems. With face-to-face contact, the least
number of things could go wrong.
What’s Going on Here?

16. Show
Cognitive overload theory suggests we have dual channel
memory - visual and auditory.

17. Show
Visual memory overloads quickly with text - move text to
audio narration

18. Show
Bulleted List
1. Point 1
a. Sub-Point 1
b. Sub-Point 2
c. Sub-Point 3
2. More Points…
a. Even more points
b. Huh?
3. And we’re lost
Instead, try headlines, a visual to anchor your
idea, and a slide for every major point.
More slides + less text = happier brains!

19. Tell
What are the challenges and benefits for video-based
content? How do people watch videos and why?

20. Tell
1. Be deliberate in your
choices
2. Use ability to rewatch
a to your advantage
3. Focus on main points,
give a preview, and
organize content
4. Be yourself!

21. Workshop Time!
Directions: In a group with at least one other person, please discuss
the following questions:
1. Can you think something you traditionally teach in class that
could work well as outside course content (Supplemental
Material, First Exposure, Demonstration, etc.)
1. How could you use the Show and Tell principles to get the most
out of visual media?
1. What questions do you have about getting started?

22. Conclusion
What did you all come up with?
