Press Record with Purpose: Using Asynchronous Video to Support RSI, Instructor Presence, and Student Engagement

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 :: 2:00-3:00 PM

Park Library | 413

Intended Audience: CMU Faculty

Facilitated by: Phil Coffman

Recorded video can do more than deliver course content—it can help faculty create instructor presence, guide student thinking, and support regular and substantive interaction in online courses. This session will explore practical ways to design asynchronous video with purpose, including short instructional segments, weekly instructor “wrapper” videos, guided viewing prompts, applied follow-up tasks, video feedback, and analytics-informed outreach.

Participants will leave with a simple framework for planning videos that are reusable, engaging, accessible, and meaningfully connected to student learning.
