How to quickly create narrated videos

 

From their website, "Video lectures are becoming the norm with remote education, but few educators have enough time or resources required to create great videos. Unless you are also a professional voice actor, it probably takes you a while to record narration without mistakes. In addition to all the usual work, you have to find extra time to merge audio with video materials and transcribe narration to subtitles."  To see the website click here.

"Turning passive video watching into an interactive and engaging learning experience? " says Joel Speranza.  "Viewing video is a passive experience. The moving images and sound just washes over you and it’s easy to tune out. This is fine if you’re watching “The Bachelor”, but what if you want to use video for education? Flipped Learning for example."

"PlayPosit  is about fixing the passive nature of video and making interactive video lessons instead. It works as a layer that sits over the top of a video source (youtube works with it as do many other video sites) and allows you to embed questions into a video. After students have watched you can check and see who watched it and how they answered the questions."
