Want to liven up your courses with relevant multimedia materials? Take a look at the following list for some ideas.

- For webinars and sessions with remote experts, there is a great tool supported by OSU called CarmenConnect, which includes recording functionality. Here is a collection of information regarding the tool.

Remember!
- Your course materials should support its learning outcomes.
- Outline/script your videos first! This would help keeping your videos/segments short and concise (~ 6-7 minutes). This can apply to lecture capture as well – for example, clearly signal where one segment ends and where another one begins.
- If you are using slides, be as concise as possible, and don’t include excessive text, visuals and/or animations that do not support learning outcomes – they are actually distracting and harmful to learning.
