The latest ISA virtual PASS course, Teaching Beyond the Classroom: A Practical Guide to Creating Educational Video Content, will take place next Tuesday, September 22nd, from 12:00 PM to 1:15 PM ET. Offered by Dr. Mark Harvey at University of Saint Mary, this is a great opportunity to hone your skills in creating effective educational videos. From the description:
“This practical course introduces participants to the process of turning classroom instruction into educational video content. Topics include basic recording strategies, camera and audio considerations, simple production workflows, editing tools, video hosting platforms, and publishing practices. Participants will also explore how AI can support content creation by generating titles, descriptions, transcripts, keywords, and search engine optimization (SEO) recommendations.”
