If you’ve landed on this page, you’re most likely developing a course or revising a course for CUNY SPS. As part of this work it is an expectation that you will create video(s) to introduce the course and the instructor.
As a best practice, it is recommended to make two separate videos; a Course Introduction Video and a Faculty Introduction Video.
- Course Introduction (also known as a Course Tour or Course Overview): This is what the course is about and meant to excite students about the new learning. It is delivered in a way that no matter who is teaching the course the video can be placed in multiple sections.
- Faculty Introduction: This is a video to greet students and introduce the teacher for the course by providing academic/professional background and other points of interest for a new student. This video is used by the faculty teaching the course so won’t be placed in sections where you are not teaching.
