216 BYOL: DIY Whiteboard Animation
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM Wednesday, November 16
101/102
People are drawn to whiteboard animations (pardon the pun!). Watching the story unfold before your eyes creates a memorable and lasting impression—and can often provide a better transfer of knowledge. But the cost of producing whiteboard animation can be prohibitive. If you’re a freelance developer, work in a not-for-profit organization, or have a minimal budget, whiteboard animation can be out of reach. Or is it?
In this session, you’ll learn how to use VideoScribe to create engaging whiteboard animations for a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional developer. You can quickly assemble your animated clips using the built-in library of images. Or, with even a tiny bit of artistic talent, you can create your own images using vector editing software. Combining your animations with an audio track and narration provides a cost-effective way of creating explainer videos, digital stories, simulations, and more. Your whiteboard animations can be great stand-alone eLearning pieces, or they can be combined with other, more traditional learning modalities.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to create simple whiteboard animations usingVideoScribe
- What you’ll want to include when you storyboard your ideas
- How to add audio and narration to your animation
- How to draw your own images for animation (no artistic talent required!)
- How to integrate your animation into a traditional eLearning course
Audience:
Novice and intermediate designers and developers.
Technology discussed in this session:
VideoScribe, Adobe Illustrator, and Inkscape.
Technology required:
VideoScribe (note: Download the seven-day free trial at videoscribe.co the day before you attend the workshop) and Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (you must have a working knowledge of whichever software you choose).

INN203 Visual Is Viable: How to Transcend Learning Barriers
12:15 PM - 1:00 PM Thursday, November 17
Expo Hall—Innovation Showcase Stage
Text and voice communications are the cheapest, fastest, easiest way to communicate, but they are also the least effective. With over 100 billion emails sent each day and climbing, your message is lucky to break through the noise. If you do get noticed, your text and voice often fail to keep audience attention or boost learning retention. If you want your message to be seen, understood, remembered, and acted on, you need to make it visual. This session will share the science behind visual communication, and attendees will leave with a clear methodology to apply immediately.

113
In a world of short attention spans and the need to “break through the clutter,” how can you ensure your learning videos leave your audience remembering your message?

You’ll find out what exactly makes an ad so compelling that it can persuade you to spend your money, then apply these secrets to make your next learning video successful.

Intellectual property law affects every stage of the development and delivery process. Unfortunately, it’s daunting—and, even worse, often deadly boring. As a result, your decision making about what media resources you can actually use might be rooted in ignorance, fear, or frustration, none of which contributes to your project goals.

In this session, you’ll learn about copyright essentials through a surprisingly entertaining and easy-to-understand snapshot of the law and recent cases. Learn how to protect your own work and apply legal concepts, such as the fair use doctrine, to everyday scenarios and become more confident in finding sites that offer public domain, Creative Commons, and open access licensed works.

602 Debunk All the Video and Audio Myths!
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Thursday, November 17
109
Video production and delivery have evolved quickly over the past few years. Unfortunately, pre-2010-era video knowledge often dominates how people consider using video for learning, including their understanding of video files and codecs, streaming specifications and file sizes, video production techniques and styles, and even the role of video in training media. Moreover, these misconceptions actually keep teams from launching the video production processes they’d love to be working on.
This session will rapidly dispel the top video and audio myths held by eLearning developers. You’ll learn more about the technical side of creating video, including which video files, codecs, and optimum export settings you need to know; how streaming services really work and what types of files to give them; and how to work around Internet bandwidth concerns. You’ll also explore project management for video, from how to plan a production so that it can be accomplished in a single day or less to what level of production value is really necessary for good teaching. And, to round things out, you’ll get tips for how to leverage the vast array of free online videos in your training.
In this session, you will learn:
- Whether or not you need a fancy new camera
- Whether codecs even matter
- Whether reducing frame rate actually reduces video bit rate
- What compression is and how it works
- Whether you should use your camera’s microphone for recording
- How to plan your production so that it can be accomplished quickly
Audience:
Novice and intermediate designers, developers, project managers,
and managers.

603 Interactive Video: Building an Emotional Connection to Drive Behavior
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Thursday, November 17
124
In a world of fragmented content consumption and constant distraction, how do you not only grab your audience’s attention but also get them to care about your content? One way is to create an emotional connection by putting them in the driver’s seat of the experience. Giving your audience choice both attracts their attention and creates emotional investment, allowing the message you share to go deeper and actually change behavior.
Interactive video is a powerful tool in this shifting landscape. With it, you don’t have to choose between making an emotional connection or providing information: You can instead enjoy the benefits of both. In this session, you’ll find out how interactive video allows your content to speak to an individual instead of generically addressing a broad audience.
