Cheap, Fast, and Good: Instructional Videos and Open Educational Resources (Recording)

Librarians have LibGuides, online classes, social media, and many other opportunities to use multimedia in instruction. But how can you create original content if you don’t have a lot of time or money or any desire to show your face on camera? This webinar will address two ways to create instructional media. One, the webinar will present practical strategies for creating original instructional videos without a lot of time or money. Two, the webinar will discuss open educational resources (OERs), which are existing educational objects, such as curricula and videos, that are designed to be adapted by users.

Objectives

• To gain the confidence to make instructional videos, based on familiarity with a video-making framework and free or low-cost video-making tools
• To understand what OERs are, where to find them, how to use them, and how to create personal work that is available for reuse

Audience

Any librarian or other health information professional, novice to expert, who wants to learn to create cheap, fast, and good instructional media!
