Creating Video Tutorials

General Tips

If you are new to using video, try to not stress over the quality. You will get better at it with practice! Your students will benefit from seeing you and hearing your voice.

General rule of thumb that it is better to upload videos to YouTube and then use the YouTube link for the video. This method is more bandwidth and tool friendly.

The Video Note and Virtual Class options under "Create Videos - Computer" are integrated into the VLE and can only be used within that platform. You must be on a computer to create Video Notes. On the plus side, neither have to be uploaded to YouTube. They are created within the VLE and display there without the need to post a link.
