Do you have an idea for video content for your classroom? A lecture you want to deliver in a different way? A lesson plan with interactive elements?

What if you already have video content online, but you’re not sure it’s what you need? Maybe the sound quality isn’t what you think it should be, or it’s missing some graphic elements that could enhance the viewing and learning experience.
