Canvas LMS Instructional Videos
Client: Center for Innovative Design and Instruction at Utah State University
Mediums: Camtasia 9 and Audacity
These are 2 out of the 10 instructional videos I made while helping the Center for Innovative Design and Instruction put together a Canvas Certification course for the instructors at USU.
USU has a great sound booth for audio recording, so I elected to record the audio with Audacity first. I left a lot of pauses and space in the audio so that I would have plenty of room to edit and sync with the screencasts I did in Camtasia.
After recording the screencasts, I edited both tracks in Camtasia and added the title screen, page zooms, and cursor effects. These are simple videos, but the idea was to make videos that someone with no canvas experience would be able to follow and learn from.

LG G3 Headphone Jack Repair
Client: My Wife
Mediums: Samsung Galaxy S5 and Windows Movie Maker
This is the very first instructional video I ever made. I filmed it with my Samsung Galaxy S5 and edited it in Windows Movie Maker. The headphone jack on my wife's phone stopped working, and instead of paying someone $50-$75, I'd order the parts and do it myself.
The video is not very professional, but I'm including it in my portfolio because it literally has thousands more views than all of my other videos combined.
There is a reason that many Instructional Designers call YouTube the biggest Knowledge Management System in the world. Employees are more likely to go to YouTube to learn a needed skill than to ask a colleague, or look for in-house learning materials.
This brings up some good questions. Do you want your employees finding all their info on YouTube? Why is YouTube easier than the in-house materials?
Makes you think, right?
