Video management protocol

Videos can be powerful tools for communication in education. They can range from lecture formats, to more informal chats and live demonstrations. Videos are designed to be engaging and deliver content in a more digestible way to help your learners achieve their objectives. They can also be used to help convey complex topics in a more insightful manner.

Sources for image and video

You are allowed to design and use your own content, but please be aware that even then there might be some restrictions that apply:

  • If you are using some images or content that are someone else's property or copyright

  • Taking a picture or video of an image or media that is not your own work. This does not count as original work, unless you add a statement that states otherwise (or a relevant citation)

  • Your employer in some cases might own the rights to any content that you generate.

If you would like to use your own content, please add a simple statement in the readme file (or a separate file) for each project repo stating:

I/we grant the Open Science MOOC the right to re-use the content that I/we provide for the project. Specifically, I/we give permission to:

  • Use the material for educational purposes for the project

  • Publish the educational videos to the MOOC platform, and share any relevant ones on social media

  • Release the content under a Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 International license

Tips for presenters

  • Act naturally

    • Don't smile all the time

    • Don't freeze all the time

    • Avoid saying 'um' too much (and like, ah, uh, well etc.)

    • Act casual, and confident. You know your work, otherwise you wouldn't be the one in front of the camera

    • Use small gestures, some times

    • Speak at your natural pace

    • Speak clearly, but not monotonously

  • Project energy, but don't go wild

    • Try not to fidget

    • Are you passionate? Great, project it!

    • Try not to shift in your place too much

    • Enthusiasm is contagious

  • Strategic pausing

    • Especially after important points to provide focus

    • Useful after questions to help your audience pay attention

  • Downward inflexions

    • Makes sentences not sound like questions

    • Use upward inflexions only after questions

  • Memorise the script

    • But don't sound like a zombie or robot

  • Clothing

    • Try to wear plain clothes for contrast

    • Smart casual is best

    • Nothing that might be offensive

    • Avoid green, and anything too bright

    • Avoid anything distracting or too flashy (like huge jewellery)

  • Practice makes perfect!

    • It doesn't always happen on the first take

    • People make mistakes, and that's totally okay
