Final Video Course Activity Overview

Final Course Activity Video Captioning Self-Paced Micro-Course



Let's practice what you've learned. 

For this final course activity, you will be asked to create and provide captioning for a brief Welcome Video for a course you are teaching. This exercise will give you the opportunity to practice the workflow from writing your script, reading from your script, posting your script to YouTube, and making edits as needed in the YouTube editor. 

If you have an existing Welcome Video that lacks captioning that you would like to use, feel free to use it in this activity.
