Module Overview


 Why Creating Instructional Videos Matters

Welcome to the module on Creating Compelling Video Lessons. Video is a powerful medium where you can create short instructional videos that students can watch during an asynchronous learning session. Video enables you to maintain your teacher presence and gives students the ability to learn at anytime, any place. While video can mimic what students might experience in an in-person class, it is important for you to create videos that are very focused and short in length to be watched by students.
