Webinar - "Would You Watch It?" (Creating Video Tutorials)

  • 1.  Webinar - "Would You Watch It?" (Creating Video Tutorials)

    Posted Sep 11, 2014 01:06 PM

    I wanted to pass along an announcement about an upcoming webinar on video tutorials that I thought might be of interest, given the inclusion of accessibility for persons with disabilities:




    Join the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community on Thursday, September 18 at 3:00 pm EST for a webcast presentation and discussion with Nichole Martin and Ross Martin. Video tutorials provide libraries a way to meet online learners at their place and time of need. At Seminole State College of Florida, Nichole and Ross have increased tutorial production to meet the growing demands of distance learning courses. To ensure high quality video production, they studied best practices outlined in library literature, as well as findings from other fields invested in video communication: education, business, journalism, and television production. Through research and personal experience, they discovered methods to create effective and engaging video tutorials that are high-definition, mobile-friendly, and accessible for disabled viewers.
