Abstract

Is your personality, humor, and care for student success lost in translation while teaching your online course? When you are not seen or heard, learners may have more difficulty connecting with you, which may hinder the overall experience. Integrating video can help develop your online persona by fostering your social presence in the online classroom. Video has the potential to enhance student satisfaction, engagement, and meaningful learning. By using video, you can model multimedia fluency skills, essential for learners’ employability and career advancement.

In this seminar, you will learn how to effectively integrate video into your online course. An instructional designer and teaching faculty member describe the ease of video creation, leading to the joy of teaching and deep learning. Choose from a variety of teaching methods and video scenarios that best portrays your unique online persona.
