Your turn
So, now that you know our process during this project and we shared our
experience, you may be thinking: “How these people expect me to make video
tutorials when I do not have a big team neither the resources they had?”
Try out!
Well… the good news is that you can make it anyway :-)
Yes we had a big team with different competences and the support of the
Erasmus+ program regarding funding, but the purpose of this project was also
to be able to deliver publications and resources that can inspire others.
Don’t worry if you think that you don’t have all what it takes, because in fact
you do! Even if it’s just with a smartphone, try out to record some sessions. Big
part of our project was to develop resources for the preparation for filming: for
this you have all needed templates so you can try already!
The important thing is to start somewhere, to give the first step and learn slowly
by doing it. You start filming with a smartphone and play a bit with editing
with a free software. Share with some friends and get feedback. Maybe other
people will join you and support you in making other videos.
Next time you will facilitate or participate in a training session, make that
challenge to yourself and to others. Challenge everybody to try to film the
session and why not to include that as learning outcomes from that training?
Maybe somebody in the group has already some experience in filming or
editing.
Maybe somebody has experience in writing narratives or scripts. Maybe
somebody has some drawing skills that can be used to make some illustrations.
Just ask!
