Make Your Own Teaching Videos
This site will be a constantly expanding source of technical resources that will help you learn how to produce your own training videos.  For each hour of video that you make that conforms to our standards and needs and is placed on our website, we will award you a $300 scholarship.  

To start this process, send us two samples of your work, approximately two minutes in length.  We will lead you through the entire process, step-by-step, using downloadable instructional videos that we have produced.  In addition, we will provide you with free technical support.  
   
Once your two minute clips are approved - you may try more than once - we will discuss and agree upon the specific details of the video.  A typical format is a series of lessons, each approximately two to six minutes in length, each with a title.  They will usually be organized with a main subject heading, under which there will be sub-headings.  The title of each clip will be placed under the sub headings.  The entire lesson can be any length.    
    

In order to create a good video, you will need a firm grasp of your subject matter (computer software, directions for using audio-visual equipment, k-12 subjects, medical topics, or other approved subject areas).  You must have a clear speaking voice and be able to explain your subject matter in a fluent fashion that is easy to understand.  Please read our website prior to applying.   
    
Here is a simple example.  Let's say that

you were very knowledgeable of Microsoft Word, and we agreed that this could be your topic.  You would install a program called HyperCam - we'll explain this later - and plug a microphone into your sound card.  Then you'd simply start Word.  With the format that we have provided, you would simply use your voice, mouse, and keyboard to talk to the audience and demonstrate how Word works.  The program would make a video of what was happening on your screen.  If this seems complicated, don't worry.  We'll make it even easier by using instructional videos that will demonstrate the video-making process.
