Course Introduction Videos

Course intro videos are an excellent, efficient way to welcome students to your online class, answer their initial questions, and show them the first steps they can take to have a successful semester. For instructors going through the FSU Online Quality Initiative, course intro videos can also help you meet Quality Matters rubric standards. With very little work from you, ODL staff will write your script and create an accompanying slideshow. Our media team will then film, edit, and caption a professional video you can use in your course for years to come.

*Note: In some of the above questions, you'll see the initials QMS accompanied by a number (eg, QMS 1.1). This indicates the Quality Matters Specific Review Standard this question correlates to. If you are not undergoing Quality Matters course certification, disregard the numbers but still answer the questions. If you are participating in Quality Matters course certification, pay close attention to each number and ensure that your answers align with QM Rubric Standards. The information you provide in this questionnaire, and therefore in your course intro video, could go a long way toward helping you earn QM course certification.
