WeVideo

This WeVideo project is a Rise 360 project designed to equip learners with the skills to create basic videos in the video editing program WeVideo. This is a direct instruction course with audiovisual components.

The Problem

Anne Arundel County Public Schools had purchased access to the web-based video editing software WeVideo for all students. However, most of the staff or students were not utilizing the program.

The Solution

I analyzed the situation and offered the following solutions:

A simple “How to use WeVideo” course would be developed and available to learners on the district’s Learning Management System - Brightspace.  It was important that this course would offer the basics: how to log in and add stock video, text, and sound to a project.

My Process

Backmapping

To start this process, I looked at the steps required to create a video made up of stock video clips.  I determined the steps were:

  1. Log into the district website and learner management system (LMS)

  2. Open up the program

  3. Start a new video project

  4. Import stock video

  5. Import stock audio

  6. Edit stock video and audio to the correct length

  7. Finalize and export the video.

Planning / Prototype

I then determined what audiovisual elements would be included in each portion of the lesson. For usability, I choose to limit the length of the mini-lessons to less than 3 minutes each. I included a check for understanding and the ability to repeat each section of the lesson as needed. 

Full Development

I then recorded the video and took the images for the final project. When all visual aspects of the project were ready, I developed the project in Rise360. Upon completion, I uploaded the SCORM file to the district’s LMS. 

Implementation and Evaluation

The final project was implemented at three educational sites, and I then introduced the project to the learners. Individuals reported an appreciation of the micro-learning aspect of this project and reported going back multiple times to review steps. 

The evaluation of the success of this project is based on individual case studies and eye-witness reports. Based on these results, the project successfully increased the usage of WeVideo.
