At Duke we’re constantly looking for ways to make online courses more effective and engaging learning experiences for students. Most of our courses use video as a central way to communicate content in a course, but if the phrase “online course video” conjures visions of a professor writing on a chalkboard captured from the back of a poorly lit lecture hall or a droning talking head, be ready to be surprised.

From interviews with experts filmed in the most scenic quarters of Duke’s campus to electronics building demos to “lectures” filmed in an agricultural field in Tanzania, the video we’re creating for Duke’s courses shows “online” doesn’t have to mean “boring.” Explore examples of the many video styles and techniques we use, and see our tips for creating effective video for teaching online.
