Instructional Content I've Produced

Depending on the complexity of course content and concepts, relying on ready-made instructional media and resources is not always an option.  In some cases, pre-existing media may be to vague, unclear, contain poor quality audio and/or video, or simply not align to the unique learning goals and objectives established for your course.  Producing self-created instructional media, although time-consuming in some instances, may be necessary.  The embedded video below I created was used specifically for a 5-week online summer section of the MIS 1305 course I taught in 2016.


Last summer, we used textbooks from Cengage publishers.  Cengage's online system, Skills Assessment Manager (SAM), was used in order for students to submit assignments/projects aligned to our texts, receive real-time feedback, and have opportunities to correct their work and resubmit accordingly.  Pre-existing videos, including resources created by Cengage, were a bit vague.  So the video above is the result of me creating a video that was much clearer in explaining the process for submitting SAM projects.  This video was created using Camtasia Studio 8 for Windows/PC and uploaded/distributed using Kaltura through our Canvas LMS.
