Making Media Assignment 

You are required to create media for your course. There are several options for this assignment:

  • Create a course trailer - highlight themes and topics the course covers
  • Create a course introduction video - use instructor perspective and welcome students to the course
  • Choose one of the themes in the course and show how it relates to...(your current practice, area interest, unit of learning)

How to complete this assignment

You can create the video using various video editing software, including iMovie, MovieMakers, Windows Video Editor 2020 (to name but a few). If you’d prefer to use a different software that is completely fine (Students will have autonomy in terms of which software they choose to use). Students are asked to submit their final films as MP4 files.
