Announcements for your class...
- It is easy to create ADA accessible announcements using SnagIt and host them on YouTube. I am recommending moving to SnagIt since longer running video's can be created with SnagIt.
- Using Acrobat.com and SnagIt instructors can create Multimedia Announcements for the class and host the media on YouTube. Phones and Tablets can render YouTube and this tool is familiar to a wide range of students.
- Pages can be structured to include a YouTube movie, a section of text, and an assessment link for self study. If you design for a phone for simple announcements that same file will render properly to a tablet.
- Instructors remember to "Chunk" your class materials. Introduce a concept with Text, a video file and then provide an activity to increase student engagement.
