Their reasons vary: some are self-conscious or feel they’re lacking in experience with video recording, while others simply prefer live face-to-face engagements.įortunately, it’s never been easier to record a video that looks as good as you do! Modern video platforms like Panopto give you the power to live stream and record a lecture, meeting, or event with just a webcam and a microphone, all at the touch of a button. Some educators and instructors have avoided producing video content for courses in the past, even as a growing body of data touts the benefits of using video in both higher education and corporate training. In the wake of an unthinkable pandemic, many of us are now working to adapt to being comfortable in front of a camera so we can maintain both the continuity of work and education, as well as human connections that can help us all continue on through an exceptionally challenging time.
If you’ve been dragging your feet when it comes to using video for online teaching, training, or communicating because the thought of stepping in front of a camera is a bit overwhelming, you’re not alone.
