How I make EDUCATION VIDEOS
Рет қаралды 72,820
Күн бұрынHow do I make my math education videos??? In this behind the scenes video I walk through the technology, the philosophy and my general view on making math videos for my students and for KZfaq.
On the tech side, I use greenscreens overlayed over a powerpoint presentation filled with math equations and graphics. I'll talk about everything you need in terms of hardware to make all of this possible and the software which is where the real magic happens. I try to tell a story in my videos, minimizing cognitive load and showing as opposed to just telling. My videos are part of a larger learning process.

Lights: By Neewer www.amazon.ca/Neewer-Packs-Di...

Greenscreen: www.amazon.ca/Neewer-Collapsi...
Software:
Powerpoint for the presentation
MATLAB for the math equations
Premier Pro for the video editing
OBS for screen recording
0:00 The Technology I use
3:06 The Software I use
6:13 The Pedagogy of my Videos
9:30 Roles of Videos in Teaching
Thanks to @mwesch for inspiring me to make this video, he is also a prof doing great work on youtube:)

That was cool. It's really remarkable how high quality "home" content can be now. Anyone of your videos would have been a massive production 20-30 years ago. I've thought about doing videos on subjects I'm learning just because teaching seems to be a very effective may to learn a subject. Being able to explain a concept concisely with simple language really shows that you understand a subject.

Hi there! I’m also a university instructor, and I have a question if you’re still taking them on this video. About how long does it take you to produce a single video using your current setup? I’ve been making Calculus I videos for my students but I find that the process takes quite a while. I have somewhat of a similar setup to yours - I use OBS and PowerPoint, and then edit together in Premiere. But I usually write out a whole script, which ends up taking quite a while. I also do this in an attempt to get each section of my video done in a single take because I worry that piecing a lot of takes together would take too long. So, given that you “stitch” together your videos a lot more than I do, I’m wondering what your timeline and process is like. I’d greatly appreciate any feedback you have (or, even better, if there would be an opportunity to discuss this with you outside of KZfaq.) Thank you in advance!

Hi Trefor, Been binging your channel, so apologies if I err with any of my facts. I'm really curious about your thoughts on the "lightboard" setup you had at U.Cin versus your current setup? Would you prefer that setup if you had a lightboard studio in your home? What do you make of the lightboard trend? Or is it too impractical/difficult for regular, personal, at-home video production? You seem to have found an excellent balance between wizardry and pragmatism with your setup. Btw, do universities charge for use of those lightboard rooms for non-faculty? From an education video production standpoint, I'm trying to wrap my head around where the lightboard fits in the constellation of options out there. Anyway, wonderful videos - and you have a tremendous passion for your topics! Kudos!

Interesting video - but the audio quality was a bit off in that your room has an echo - and it sounded like you made this video in your bathroom. The content is excellent - but it's useful to think about the audio as it sounds to the listener - a softer less harsh "living room" sound is more inviting. Some curtains on the wall to deaden the sound maybe? Also, I find that the most interesting videos have just a tiny hint of of background music that fills the gaps. This is a delicate thing because I have seen videos that have excellent content - but the music was overwhelming and much too loud. In any case, I really enjoy your work.

The is illumination about the making of videos, yet there is a void about the legalities of using other's software for commercial use. MATALB is one example of software use (license) where there is a distinction between educational use and personal monetary gain. I would find it hypocritical for an educator to use licenses issued to the uni for personal benefit. I enjoy your videos; they are well done. There was one aspect of your presentation not included: the transparent screen you talk behind and use fluorescent markers. Best wishes.

MS counselors in Korea have told me that MS products, especially PPT, are not available for commercial use, so I can't use PPT to make KZfaq videos. Microsoft counselors in Korea say that even if copyright issues have been resolved on all the contents of PPT, commercial use of PPT is not possible, and I am frustrated that this is correct. Also, I wonder if the situation is different for each country regarding this problem.

Because MS products that have no possibility of commercial use have no meaning to me. I wonder if only Korean counselors talk like this or only those employees don't know about copyrights exactly.
