Tips for Creating Video Materials

Videos are an effective way to present content to students who are not only used to digital input but have also come to expect it. While it is relatively easy to upload YouTube videos in Blackboard, these videos may not always meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. In order to make sure that the ADA standards are met, create customized videos.

Listed below are links to resources on how to create videos using different applications:

• “The Excellent Tools for Creating Videos without Installing Software,” by Richard Byrne
• “How to Create Professional YouTube Videos for FREE,” by Lewis Clifford
  

Here is a list of available applications for producing video content:
