Course Introduction Video Guide

Questions you might leverage when crafting your introduction video:

1. What is your name, some of your qualifications, industry experience?

2. Is there anything personal you’d like students to know about yourself (i.e., hobbies, family life, pets,)?

3. What has brought you to Dartmouth and this program?

4. What will students learn in the course (i.e., knowledge, skills,)?

5. What is interesting about the field, are there any exciting recent developments? If so, how does their work fit in? 

6. What types of activities will students engage in during the course?

7. How will the course help students develop as future professionals?

8. What should students expect from your teaching style and values?

9. Are there any tips that may help students succeed in your course?

10. How will your course be structured each week?

11. How can students best reach you if they have questions?

Note: The “Course Introduction” video is the first impression students will receive of your course and generally offers greater flexibility, regarding the look and feel of the video, compared to course content videos. This is a great opportunity to highlight spaces on/near campus that may be important to you or your course’s content. Please reach out to your assigned Ed Media Specialist or Learning Designer if you’re interested in filming at a unique location around campus.

Faculty Introduction Video: We encourage you to create a separate “Faculty Introduction” video. This video provides additional time to dedicate to introducing yourself, your passions, and your credentials. It also helps to keep course content information separate from your personal introductory information, which can help preserve students’ time when referring back to the “Course Introduction” for specific course information.
