Clemson Online offers free video training

Whether in the classroom, in the office or at home, video has become a mainstay of teaching, learning and communicating. A Pew Research Center survey indicates that YouTube and Facebook dominate the Social Media landscape. When comparing the two platforms, YouTube appears to have edged slightly ahead of Facebook, according to the study.

What’s the one thing that all of these platforms have in common? They use video to relay information. And participants respond better to video – especially short videos. Many people are “visual” and respond and retain visual stimuli. So whether you want to use video for the classroom, create a “how to,” or just gush at adorable puppies and kittens, video is the way to go.

Video doesn’t have to be hard to create. And that’s where Clemson Online is here to help. For free. Not a typo, it’s really free. Really.

Toward that end, Clemson Online is hosting a series of how-to classes to get you started.
