Editor's Notes
- Hi, my name is Mark Graveline I’m a Multimedia Systems Architect at Babson College. We’re a small private business school located about half an hour outside Boston MA known for being ranked #1 in entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report for 16 consecutive years for our undergraduate program and 20 years for our graduate program. I implement and manage their multimedia systems and create educational video content for their academic programs.From 2011 to 2012 we increased our number of educational video assets from 328 videos to 1,026… over a 300% increase. This year the trend in demand for high quality video is only increasingIn this presentation, I want to share with other educational content creators in higher ed 10 lessons that I’ve learned from pushing Babson to adopt the use of high quality educational video content in our academic programs.Since implementing Kaltura in April 2011Over 1,500 unique video assets created48,647 Video Plays95,205 Minutes of content viewedMore than a 300% increase in content from 2011 to 2012 (328 videos in 2011, 1,026 in 2012)

- How do I get started?First, and foremost, just start. It might seem obvious, but if you’re like me and you want to get things just right… with anything new, you just need to start. You probably won’t create an award-winning video right out of the gate… your video might have flaws like technical mistakes or the story might not be that engaging.Why?Because the only way to learn is by doing
- How do I get started?For people who are starting out completely from scratch… talk about the essential elements of a kitWhy? Proving a conceptLower riskYou can get good-looking video with simple things (show example of Allan’s video)
- How do you get Instructors to be active participants?Find a professor whois willing to play, who’s genuinely interested in using video content in their course (or better yet, maybe they already are, and would like to do it better) and who’s going to evangelize the idea among other faculty. Why?The biggest challenge I faced wasn’t technical, it was organizational… How do I get faculty to buy into this new way of teaching?Tell story about connecting with Michael Cummings, and how he was a change agent.
- How do you get Instructors to be active participants?Create examples. In my case, I created video tutorials that we use to on-board new faculty or to teach faculty how to use new technology.Why?Because seeing is believing etc.
- How do you do more with less? How do you create better content faster?By script-writing, storyboarding, etc. The more work you do up-front, the more time you’ll save yourself in the the long-runProper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance
- How do you do more with less? How do you create better content faster?Future-proofing (non-time sensitive content)Non-course specific content
- How do you reach your audience? How do you engage the students?Brevitynow that we're several minutes into my presentation, my guess is more thanhalf of you have stopped listening to me already =)
