Building Social and Teaching
 Presence with Instructor-
       created Videos
           TAKE 2

     Stella Porto & Datta-Kaur
Abstract
This workshop recaps on the presentation done
during the summer, summarizing main uses of
video and best practices of social and
teaching presence using videos. We extend the
topic by looking into some practical best
practices in the development, selection and
delivery of videos within online courses. We
explore in more detail some of the tools,
showcase some examples, and open the
forum for questions and discussion of a few
polling questions done during the presentation.
Learning usually happens later…
