CHECKLIST:
  • Consider reach. If you want a wide audience, choose an open hosting environment, like YouTube.
  • Consider privacy. If you need a certain amount of project around your content, choose a locally-hosted option, like Kaltura.
  • If you don't require privacy or security settings for your video, YouTube is probably your best bet. YouTube enables you to share your video with the world, reach a wide audience, and students don't need an account to view it. Set up your own YouTube account, or use UBC's account with this documentation.
  • If you do require security or privacy settings, consider using Kaltura, a UBC-hosted service. Kaltura offers options for learning activities that require students to record, upload and share video content through Connect. Compared to YouTube, Kaltura offers more granular control over content and contributors. Here are two pages, detailing how to upload your video to Kaltura and how to share videos.
  • Post other resources: in addition to providing learners with your screencast, consider giving your viewers access to any other resources you used when creating your screencast.
  • After you've finished your project let us know! Get in touch with the CTLT to have your media added to the list of examples, and to join the DIY community!

TIPS:
  • Review your final product with colleagues and double-check that your video is delivering the message or story you want it to.
  • See audience feedback about the resources you produce, and use it to evaluate and improve your project.
