Pre-production planning is key to the effectiveness of instruction, so a large block of the course will be devoted to these processes. Production skills will be reviewed and advanced editing skills will be practiced. In large groups, students will choose production roles, design instructional strategies, plan a production, produce an instructional video, edit the video, conduct formative evaluation, and write a report. Although there are no set prerequisites, basic production skills are preferred. The purpose of the course is for ETEC Master's students to operationalize the theories and methods learned in the ETEC core.
