You’ve seen your students, your kids, even yourself mesmerized by videos and podcasts on your cellphone. What if you could film/record your own, then edit them incorporating special effects to share with a specific audience? Are you hooked yet?

If this appeals to you for your teaching or your work here at the Douglas College, we have the program for you–the EdMedia Program. It runs from Feb.5 to Mar.15 at the NW campus, consisting of seven separate workshops:

Recording Foundations: Pre-production and Planning
Video Recording Techniques: Lights, Camera, Action
Guerrilla Filmmaking: Portable Device Techniques
Audio Recording: Editing with Audacity
Camtasia Part 1
Camtasia Part 2
Showcase and Next Steps

Participants who complete all seven workshops will receive a certificate of completion.

Pencasting and other ways to incorporate videos in your classroom

Published on May 23, 2017 by ahempublishing

In a recent Teaching in Higher Ed podcast (#153), Douglas College instructor Brandy Dudas explains her use of pencasting and other ways of introducing videos into her classroom. She says it all started with students asking her to post videos online, enabling them to review difficult concepts repeatedly to ensure they really grasped the necessary learning. She even has her own YouTube channel called Accounting Videos with Brandy, which is clearly popular with her students.

Grab a coffee and your iPhone, then give this podcast a listen. It’s passionate educators like Brandy who are truly making a difference in students’ lives.
