Have you been experimenting with creating your own video resources? Ready to try some new tricks? The CTE is piloting a program to assist faculty in creating video for their online course sites by providing a kit of simple, relatively low cost equipment to sign out and try at home. This equipment won’t turn your home into a studio but it will improve the sound and look of your videos and give you a chance to try out some simple upgrades to your setup. ​

The equipment includes:

  • a YETI microphone,
  • a simple ring light and tripod
  • a green screen and
  • a high definition web camera. 

You can borrow some, or all of, the equipment in the kit to try out a new set up at your home or office. All of the equipment will plug into USB ports on your laptop or computer.

Take a selfie of yourself using the equipment in your home studio and enter a draw to win a free Yeti microphone!​

We’ve also developed a new self-paced online workshop to help faculty with the planning and design of their video content, from short screencasts to more ambitious productions, using promising practices developed in post secondary institutions. ​

Creating Video for Online Learning 

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

  • Identify opportunities for using video in your course effectively
  • Identify different types of shots and when to use them
  • Use a template to create a basic script and shot list
  • Set up your camera, lights and audio equipment
  • Make some basic edits and enhancements to your video
