One of the consequences of working from home during the coronavirus lockdown has been the installation of a spanking new black glass dry erase board in my home office (aka the spare bedroom).
As someone who can’t think without a dry erase board, it was only a matter of time before I cracked and put one in. And just to be different, I thought why not go for a fancy glass one, and a bunch of fluorescent gel pens to boot.
A few years ago, I developed and ran a couple of workshops for scientists on how to create simple but effective whiteboard-style videos, using little more than a smartphone, tripod and computer.
At the time, I produced a series of training modules to accompany the workshops. I’ve just posted these on this website as a resource for anyone who’s interested in creating effective science communication videos, and is looking for some guidance.
There are eight modules and an overview – it’s worth starting with the overview, but you can jump straight to the different modules here:
The training modules use the short video below as an example of what can be achieved on a budget.
(This is one of two example videos – the other uses a whiteboard to produce the visuals)
Please feel free to use, and pass along!
