Creating talking head and similar videos

A popular topic on the Edge Hill PGCert course has been making ‘talking head’ and other videos / screen casts for teaching and learning.

I encourage colleagues to create ‘rough and ready’ / disposable video for teaching and learning. However, if colleagues want to move to the next step, here’s an excellent piece outlining an approach to create great looking video: http://www.edutopia.org/discussion/low-budget-high-quality-videos-flipped-classroom?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialflow (via @edutopia)
