The final assignment is to create a presentation for the course instructors. I created a 10-minute screencast video that summarizes the process of creating a micro course from scratch and my reflection on the design of the entire course and the development of the digital media assets. Please excuse the watermark on the video since I used the free trial version of Camtasia.

Process of producing the video

1. Map out the process and schedule dates to work on.

2. Write scripts (make sure to cover all rubric criteria).

3. Record and edit voiceover with Audacity.

4. Structure the Camtasia template from the last project.

5. Create a separate description transcript file with voiceover time to how long each screencast clip should be.

6. Load the template with the voiceover.

7. Record screencast and take screenshots with Camtasia

8. Organize callouts, add animation, and insert transition effects

9. Upload the video and add captions on YouTube.

10. Upload the descriptive transcript in YouTube and Canvas close to the video.

11. Update the capstone project page.

Challenges & Solution

There is much information that I should contain in a presentation of fewer than 10 minutes. With the information, I can take screencasts instead of talking; the challenge was which one to narrate and which one to show. I tried to visualize the process in my mind as I wrote scripts and traced it later when recording screencasts. I still had to cut back and edit a large part of the voiceover to fit within the time limit. 

In the end

From 100x to 400x courses, all of the instruction and communication are delivered online. In the beginning, I was not sure about the expectations of the course, but I soon realized that it all depended on how I wanted to digest the course. Besides submitting requirements by due dates, with great flexibility and freedom of exploration, I unexpectedly found myself dove down to the topic of accessibility and what it means in online learning. This also raised my curiosity about what inclusivity in this field looks like. I'm still searching and will take these questions to the upcoming courses.
