Description
In an increasingly digital learning environment, multimedia—especially video—is a powerful tool for engaging students and enhancing learning outcomes. Yet too often, educational videos end up being long, monotonous, and uninspiring. How can educators and instructional designers break this cycle and create videos that truly engage?
Hosted by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, this IDEAS instructional design seminar will explore key strategies and emerging trends that make educational videos effective. Expert speakers will address critical questions, including:
- What are the most significant video trends for 2025?
- What defines an engaging educational video?
- How to align video content with learning objectives effectively?
- How can storytelling be effectively integrated into video content?
- When should educators opt for in-house production versus outsourcing?
Whether you're a faculty member, instructional designer, or video production expert, this seminar will provide actionable insights and inspiration to enhance your teaching materials.
Creating Engaging Videos is the first in Beyond the Classroom, a series of seminars that will explore areas such as multimedia creation, online course development, and strategies for fostering student engagement.
