The developing themes have influenced the design and strategy of media production at SCE, including:
Strategizing videos to tie directly to course assignments and/or assessment
Advising faculty members to use conversational language in production; also encouraging them to use humor and draw on past experiences
Adding audio/visual elements to the video that supplement the content; the videos should not convey information that students could just read as text
Producing high-quality videos (despite mixed findings related to production values, elements such as professional sound, lighting, and graphics are considered important when creating high-quality media)
Keeping the four-minute view time as a design consideration, especially when producing longer-form content lectures that can be broken up into shorter segments
Today at the Mashable Media Summit, College Humor's CEO Ricky Van Veen announced a partnership with SoBe to launch SoBe Studios - a project that creates branded video content - and with it a three-part web series called Mr. Vicarious, set to premiere on June 9. He also shared with the audience his "10 Web Content Urban Legends."
