Creating Effective Instructional Media
Want to make your course media more impactful and accessible? This self-paced sprint guides you through designing and embedding instructional media that enhances learning and reduces cognitive overload.
Whether you're new to media creation or refining your approach, you'll explore how to:
- Plan short, focused video segments that support student attention
- Record and caption videos using Panopto (UMKC’s approved platform)
- Embed media into Canvas in ways that are accessible and pedagogically sound
- Curate and contextualize third-party media to enrich your course
Organized around three key actions—Content, Connect, and Create—this sprint helps you move from understanding to confident application. You’ll build a short instructional video, embed it with captions, and curate a media item that aligns with your teaching goals.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a polished media asset and a repeatable workflow you can use across your courses.
