About Your Instructor

This is the About Your Instructor page, and it will need to be edited in your own course shell. For your first ungraded task in this orientation course, you will learn about the Rich Content Editor feature that allows you to record video and embed content anywhere in your course.

Assignment:

For this task, record a brief video introduction of yourself on this page. Consider opening your video with a thought-provoking question or statement to catch your students' interest, but do keep it very brief, no more than 2 minutes.

Any videos you make should be accompanied by written blurbs and/or complete transcripts whenever possible. Not all students have audio enabled on their computer, some students may be hard of hearing, and students with visually impairments may rely on screen readers.

Emerging standards for quality in online course design place a strong emphasis on all content being accessible for all students.

Instructions:

Watch the video on the rich content editor and review these written instructions and screenshots on recording your video - Click Here For Directions & Screenshots
If you have any trouble with recording video, please review the troubleshooting steps before reporting any problems - Troubleshooting Steps
Make sure you have a webcam connected to your computer. If you do not have a webcam, you may add a photo and bio to this area in lieu of a video.
After recording your video, make sure to also add a written blurb.

NOTE:

This page is linked to the home page of this course, where it is titled About Your Instructor. In a real course shell, it should be left unpublished until you've added your video or bio.

Items and pages that are unpublished are visually identified as lighter in color, or greyed out. These are visible to instructors, but hidden from a student's view. After you edit an unpublished page, make sure that after you click the Save & Publish button at the bottom so it becomes visible to your students.
