Abstract

Have you ever wanted to implement pre or post-lecture videos for your classes? Videos are a great way to bring yourself to the students outside of the classroom. If you are interested in learning about some of the dos and don'ts for making educational videos then this workshop is for you. I plan to help reduce the learning curve for making fun and useful videos for science students. Participants will receive some general tips that I wish I had known when I first started creating Organic Chemistry tutorials for my YouTube channel "Orgo Made Easy". After a quick poll of the participants, the workshop will focus on one area of educational video production in a hands-on activity. We will review a few sample products that participants make to identify other useful tips as well as discuss feedback from students who watch my videos.
