In this free one-week Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) MicroCourse, participants will learn a design and creation paradigm for creating engaging educational videos. During the week, each participant will create a short video using the principles learned in this MicroCourse.

Video has tremendous power, both to support learning in the classroom and for educational outreach on social media.
