July Virtual SiG - eLearning - Video Challenge | Produce like a pro – from your smart phone!

Join us for a virtual Special Interest Group (SiG) in July--

eLearning Video Challenge | Produce like a pro – from your smart phone!

Video and other creative solutions have become essential as we all adapt to the new realities of COVID-19. In our second quarter eLearning SIG, we’ll focus on one way of tackling the current situation: Quick-turn video – produced with your smartphone!

And we’ll do it in a hands-on fashion: By challenging you to make your OWN short video, and submit it to share in our online meeting. To recognize your hard work, we’ll vote for the best video in several fun categories:

• Best overall
• Most creative
• Most humorous
• Most likely to get noticed and make it in Hollywood

Sound good? Ready to show off your skills and creativity? See the directions below!
