Being Creative with Video
April 2025
Join us at LDDI’s Studio B Discovery Lab for an interactive session on enhancing assignments and presentations with video. Learn how to create dynamic and engaging content using tools like Camtasia, H5P, VideoScribe, and AI-powered solutions. We’ll explore key video production strategies, from screen recording and whiteboard animations to interactive elements that boost engagement. This session will equip you with essential skills to make your videos more impactful and visually compelling. How It Works: This presentation is available on demand as a field trip experience at Studio B Discovery Lab. Faculty of Education instructors can book a session and bring their students for an engaging, hands-on learning opportunity. Faculty of Education instructors, faculty, and staff are also welcome to book a visit to experience the presentation individually or with a group.
