About the Webinar

Video can be valuable without becoming another project for instructors to manage. The harder question is how to make it practical enough to use regularly.  

In this customer-led session, Blackboard staff will open with a few questions for Elizabeth Jones, J.D., Instructional Excellence Manager/AI Strategist for Teaching and Learning;  Nate Lison, Manager of Learning Management Systems and Analytics;  and Sara Wiliamson, M.S., Business Technology Instructor from Fox Valley Technical College. Then we’ll hand the conversation to you.  

Ask how they approached rollout, what worked and what didn’t, how they built faculty adoption, where video fits into teaching and learning, and what students are doing with it now.  

If you're looking to make video more practical across your institution, this session was built with you in mind. Video Studio is designed for educators, not editors—and Fox Valley will share real examples of how video is adding engagement across a wide range of disciplines, including hands-on areas of study such as manufacturing and agriculture.
