How can I use Video in my Class? Your Class Introduction Script Start first with developing a script for what you plan to say. A class introduction video might include the following: Introduce yourself as instructor Give a very brief outline of your background Mention the big ideas you will be working on in the class Let the student know how to get started in class Let students know when and how they can contact you Smile and show your enthusiasm for your subject Use eye contact with the camera as much as possible Keep it very short – under 5 minutes is best Make sure you are not too far away from the camera but far enough away so that part of you isn’t out of the screen. Before you start talking, take a deep breath, pause and smile – this not only will prepare you for recording but will provide a natural spot to trim off any excess video during editing. Use hand gestures if you like, but not too wildly and try to keep your body relatively still. Your Lecture Video If you are recording a video lecture for a learning unit keep these (and above) tips in mind: Keep lecture video under 10 minutes. Your experiences and stories bring life to the lesson material and to illustrate what you think is most important for students to be familiar with. Refrain from mentioning upcoming holidays or events specifically unless you plan to create new videos each semester!
