What: Live virtual conference
​
Prior to the meeting
-
Familiarize yourself with Google Meet HERE (it's pretty easy; you should just be able to click and you're on!)
-
Download Adobe Rush HERE - this is the app we will use to edit video. It's a great introductory video editing app, and it's free. If you are a more advanced user, feel free to use the software of your choice (Adobe Premiere Pro, Camtasia, etc.) and join us for the video conference for discussion on best practices and Q&A. You will still learn valuable information beyond basic editing techniques.
-
Watch the quick tutorials on Adobe Rush below so you can get the most out of our time together on the virtual call.

Now that we have finished this course, you should be able to integrate visuals with your instructional design with confidence and coordination!
​
After your final project has been turned in, your work will be graded and upon satisfactory assessment, you will be emailed your certificate of completion. Please allow up to four weeks for our process to assess your work and email your certificate.
YOUR TURN
This concludes our time together. After you complete your final project, please take the exit interview survey below. This exit survey is your opportunity to share your experience with us so we can improve this course for future students. It would mean a lot to us if you could take 5-10 minutes to let us know how we did.
