Some questions to guide you...

The following questions can help you refine your idea:

  • What is my objective?
  • What do I want to express, explain, uncover, show or document?
  • Why is it important?
  • How will this resource be used?

Related to student learning:

  • What will make this an effective learning resource? See: Design Principles for Multimedia
  • How might students use this resource?
  • What do I expect to be the impact on learning?
  • How will I know if this resource has made an impact on learning?

The following questions can help you refine your approach:

  • Does a similar resource to the one I am envisioning already exist online somewhere? You may want to check Creative Commons licensed sources as well as resources in the Public Domain to start.
  • Can you curate content by building some activities or context around a video that already exists or do you need to create something new? Here is an example of curated content around a YouTube video describing MOOCs.
  • What is my timeframe?
  • Can I do this by myself or will I need a team?
  • What approach will best help me meet my goals? To get a sense of what approach might serve your needs, review this table:
Goal Ingredients Approach
Expose common misconception Demonstrate a concept, interview students/others for predictions Video
Demonstrate a process Whiteboard or application on-screen to show actions Screencast
Document experience Go to a location if it is field experience you want to document, or conduct an individual interview if it is a personal story you want to document Video interview
Set tone for the course/learning community You and your TAs can use a web-cam to make a welcome or introductory video message Web cam style video recording
Tell a story Audio, video, images or some combination Podcast, screencast, narrated slides, or video
Explain a complex concept or phenomenon Expose details that are impossible to see, or highlight connections animation, stop motion animation, screencast


Further questions for instructors:

  • What do I need to know about copyright?
  • What might my students need to know about copyright (if they are producing resources and publishing online)?
  • Plan Your Project Worksheets:Video, Audio, Screencast: Guides to help you work out the learning objectives, content and associated learning activities.

The following questions can help you gather your resources:

  • Will I be creating a mash-up with previously published content? (See section B of UBC's copyright guidelines).
  • Will I be editing in any additional content to help me meet my objectives such as audio, music, video, or images?
  • Do I want to make it easy for people to republish or use my work with the appropriate attribution?

Further questions for instructors:

  • Am I intending to publish student created content? If so, how will I handle permissions?
  • What will I need to budget for?
  • Will I need to purchase equipment or can I borrow it?
  • Can I do what I want to do with the equipment I have?
  • What sort of permission(s) will I need to obtain (ie student permissions)?


The following questions can help you choose your tools:

  • Will I incur any costs related to the use or maintenance of the tool I select?
  • How much of an investment will I need to make to learn the tool or approach I have selected?
  • Is there a return on investment of my time in learning this tool?
  • Is this tool supported or maintained by UBC? If not, am I OK with that?
  • Will I need to update the project ongoing? Will the tool or service I choose support that?
  • Have I tested it? (ie. the file formats it exports to, transferability of those files, etc.)
  • What training and skills are required?

Further questions for instructors:

  • If I am expecting students to use specific tools, what support will they need?
  • What are the benefits to collaborating on, hosting or embedding my work in an open environment (ie YouTube, UBCBlogs, UBCWiki, Wikipedia, etc)? What are the risks?
