Produce explanatory videos and learn to explain!
Why explanatory videos?
Explanatory videos are a powerful method for explaining complex concepts in a simple and multimedia-based way. You can use them as a supporting tool for teaching and repeating content or you can also guide your students to produce explanatory videos independently. This active engagement with content goes far beyond simple memorization: only those who have really penetrated a topic can explain it in a clear and understandable way.
Frequently asked questions:
No! We'll show you how to achieve professional results with free tools or your own smartphone.
Absolutely! Our course includes particularly simple methods, points out typical problems and difficulties and guides you step by step so that you can produce your own explainer videos quickly and confidently.
The course consists of 4 chapters that build on each other, but can also be worked on individually. Each chapter covers a different focus and a different production method for explanatory videos. Each chapter takes around 30-60 minutes to complete. You can then produce your own explanatory video at your own pace as an exercise.
