Videos for teaching in online courses and programs should engage as well as inform. Duke Learning Innovation’s experienced consultants and media team will work with you to create high-quality videos that communicate what you know while helping your students learn.
Explore some the examples below to learn about some of the styles of video we can help you create for online modules and courses.
Expert Interviews In Studio, On Location, and Remote
The studio provides a professional yet intimate setting for interviewing an expert, while a green screen simultaneously shows images related to the conversation. An interview at Duke’s Lemur Center contextualizes the discussion on conservation in a unique campus facility. Side-by-side windows show the instructor interviewing an expert at a remote location.

Discussion
Instead of lecturing, two instructors use a scripted discussion to present information on copyright law.

Lecture on Location: Global
By traveling to other countries to film on location, instructors help students understand the real-world context of the topics of their lecture in remote global locations.


Lab Demonstration
Studio production allows instructors to film demonstrations that bring scientific concepts to life.


Other Demonstrations
Other techniques include playing musical instruments to demonstrate musical concepts and the lightboard, which allows the instructor to lecture and illustrate concepts while facing the camera.


Animation
Drawn animation adds engaging visuals to a lecture.
