How to Use Video for Better Remote Teaching and Learning.

In this day and age, video is everything. 

In fact, it’s now clear that 1 in 2 Australians access the internet weekly from more than 5 separate devices, just to use video (ACMA 2021). Yes, that’s 5+ devices per person that are used to watch and engage with video alone!

Education has also seen a sharp rise in the use of Video for Teaching and Video for Learning. And when Video Production is now so central to the way that both students and teachers experience their lives online, we’ve thought long and hard about how we can help.

Looking to up-skill in your use of Video for Education? Here’s our Top 5 Tips to help make teaching and learning online easier for our amazing education community.
