Instructional Video | Mediasite QuickTraining Videos
QuickTraining Videos are short tutorial videos. In this example, I introduced a new feature to the Mediasite lecture recording system at NCSU. Working with the Mediasite team at NCSU, I wrote a script and recorded and edited the video. Also, I wrote a blog post on the DeltaWire, called Mediasite Mobile: Viewing Presentations on the Go, to help introduce the new feature.
Other QuickTraining videos that I created are: "Creating a Blackboard Session," "Orientation to the Moodle Interface Part 1& 2," "Accessing and Using Flashcards," "Elluminate Publish."
