Introduction (Skip if you like)
This Web page is for
those who like to jump in quickly and read the instructions
later... or for those already at least a little familiar with PowerPoint,
LecShare Pro, YouTube, podcasting, etc. - or similar tools,
activities. If you want more preparation, go back to
the more detailed Web page about
"Producing Your First eClip" and work through
some of the sections that correspond to the abbreviated ones
below.
Otherwise, fasten your seatbelt and get started!
[Or take a few extra
minutes to get a quick orientation by reading the
brief summary of
Purpose, Disclaimer, and Hope. - then get
started!]

Purpose &
Disclaimer & Hope (Skip if you like)
For a workshop (online,
regional, hybrid, ...) or related activities about
producing 5-minute eClips, hybrid workshops, hybrid
teaching/learning modules, help participants to:
-
Learn about some
basic elements and simple variations of eClips,
Brief Hybrid Workshops.
-
Succeed almost
immediately in producing an "eClip" (5 minutes
or less) suitable for exchanging introductions
that include enough information to help
participants find partners when forming small
teams to work on projects together.
-
Demonstrate some
of the of variety of possibilities when
different people produce eClips from the same
starting structure and resources.

Disclaimer & Hope: The
process described on this Web page is not
necessarily the only or the best for accomplishing
these goals. In particular, other software tools
which have more powerful or varied capabilities may
be available to some participants. However,
this first "assignment" offers a combination of
structure and resources that is likely to enable
most participants to proceed quickly and
successfully through the basic production steps.
We hope that doing so will enable them to feel more
confident in forming project teams, in proceeding
further with colleagues and on their own. We
also hope this experience will quickly provide
participants with a more realistic grasp of some of
the capabilities and limitations we are exploring
and developing together.
