Challenge
Proof-of-concept projects in my graduate course MEd Instructional Technology (2022):
Course: Design of Instructional Media
Referencing the course design plan you created for your online training module, select one piece of content to feature in an audiovisual presentation.
Compose a script for the audiovisual presentation appropriate to your target audience including:
⦁ Introduction to the content
⦁ Description of the content
⦁ Learning goal(s) and objective(s)
⦁ Instructional activities
⦁ Technology that will be integrated
⦁ Assessment (i.e., how will learning will be assessed?)
Select an audiovisual tool to create your narrated video with graphics.
Use either a concept map or a storyboard to determine the main ideas you will include in the video introduction to the online training course.
From the concept map or storyboard, develop a script for your course introduction video.
CS Champs Module 1 Intro
CS Champs Course Overview
Approach and Process
I designed, wrote, narrated and delivered these two animated videos, integrating all course-based content referenced above. For one video I used my own voice as placeholder narration, and for the other I used text-to-speech solutions native to the Vyond platform.
Outcomes/Feedback
The videos are now housed in the Articulate Rise concept course “Customer Service Champs – certification”, as previews and/overviews of the content modules.
Both videos were well received by class peers and the instructor asked that my work be exhibited as a demonstration sample for integrating animated Vyond videos within the online course. The quality of the pacing, visual theme, audio and animation synchronization were highlighted by many reviewers.
