Student-Centered Instruction and Services
Professional Development on Creating Videos to Humanize Faculty Members and Services as a High-Impact Practice
Working with the Online Education Center, create workshops for faculty and staff members to develop videos that can be embedded into welcome emails, syllabi, modules and websites to humanize faculty and staff members and welcome students in a digital environment. This is a high-impact practice to introduce students to faculty members and support services through video content. This plan supports the Student-Centered Instruction and Services Initiative by training, encouraging and inspiring the use of videos to welcome students to a course and welcome students to a service or resource.
Plan Timeline
Winter 2024
Spring 2024
Working with the Office of Online Education to develop workshops for faculty and staff on how to develop retention-oriented program and course videos (participants will receive training and learn as they develop the videos). Online Ed can help provide space for making videos with immediate help from staff.
- Best practices for making videos. Audience is staff, faculty, and administration, even student leaders and workers and those connected to student success programs.
- Faculty are encouraged to embed a humanizing, welcome video in their welcome email to students and in their course syllabus.
- Student services and processes (i.e., registration, accommodations, etc.) are encouraged to create humanizing, welcome videos to welcome students to participate in the service or access the resource.
Fall 2024
Continue to develop opportunities for video content as a high-impact practice. Develop a repository of videos for support services and resources that faculty can link to in their syllabus.
