Video Tutorial Checklist
Best Practices
Determine purpose of video: point-of-need, for use in a LibWizard tutorial, encourage critical thinking
Keep videos short (no longer than 2 to 3 minutes; if point-of-need video, no longer than 30 seconds to 1 minute)
Modularize point-of-need videos when possible
When possible, link to videos at point-of-need (in the databases, catalog, LibGuide, or during a reference interview)
In point-of-need videos, start the video out with the most important information, then elaborate
Make videos clean and professional, but keep them simple and straightforward rather than focusing on entertainment
Create a script and storyboard the video to stay on task
Speak slowly and clearly
Use call-outs when possible
Accessibility
Videos should be captioned
How to Caption YouTube Videos
Tip: Use the auto translate feature and edit, or paste the script into the text box and make sure the timing is correct.
