Connecting with Your Students
Using Self-Introduction Videos
Create
Self-introduction videos to attract students, establish social presence, and build community in your course.
What: Will record a two-three minute video
When: Thursday, January 4, 2024 from 9:00am - 12:00pm and 1:00pm - 4:00pm, by appointment only. (Deadline to sign-up is January 3, 2024.)
Why: Self-introductions can be used to attract students to take your course. Or, as one of the first things students see when they begin your course, they give your students their first impression of who you are as a person and as an instructor. One study showed that students in an online course with an introduction video contributed more often to the weekly discussion boards and the end of course evaluations were more positive.
