Tutorials

Samples of both text and video tutorials used in instructional design. 

Import Canvas Commons Module

Short tutorial videos are a great way to get "how to" instructions to faculty. This vidoe is about 2.5 minutes long, and covers how to import a module from Canvas Commons. 

Prior Learning Assessment Video

I created this video in collaboration with the instructor for the Portfolio class that gives credit for prior learning.  I collaborated with the instructor to develop the script for the video. The instructor prepared the PowerPoint, then I created the video and added the demonstration pieces. 

How I Made This Video

This is a 30 minute tutorial explaining all the steps needed to make a short introductory video. The steps covered include writing a script, preparing your screen, using Snagit to record, making edits, sharing to YouTube, and inserting closed captions. 

The creation of this tutorial was prompted after I hosted an in-person workshop on this topic. I had many faculty let me know they weren't able to to attend, but really wanted the knowledge. I put this video tutorial together in an attempt to reach a greater audience.

Stop Reinventing the Canvas Wheel

This is a recording of a live workshop I did over Zoom. I share it here as an example of having to pivot when things don't go as planned. I was originally supposed to do this workshop in-person but had to quarantine due to COVID, thus we switched it to Zoom the day prior.   Then during the session, I had a few moments of technical issues. Don't we all just love technology?
