Incorporating Low-Tech and Easy Videos in your Professional Development
In this training, learners will better understand what low-tech and free or low-cost options are available to enhance professional development and increase retention.
You will have the opportunity to create your own video that you can use in your professional development. It is important to note that these outcomes do not include instructions on how to develop video but rather how video can be used. Due to the variation in the resources you have available (smartphone, video camera, webcam, etc.) and the pace at which technology changes, we will instead be providing resources to help you understand how you can use video and how you can create your own videos.
