Educational Technology Video Lessons On Demand

Video lessons are an important instructional strategy in our educational technology courses. The lessons let you view narrated video tutorials just when you need them. No longer must you sit through lectures when the professor is covering material that is off your topic or not appropriate for your current skill level. Instead, you can click to view the tutorials precisely when you need them. Because of its immediacy, this kind of on-demand video instruction is called just-in-time.

Remember that it is not our goal to duplicate or to replace the many thousands of hours of video instruction that are available through your subscription in the Safari library. You should therefore search Safari to see if it contains the video tutorials you need. If you do not personally have a Safari subscription, you may wish to view the videos in the Student Multimedia Design Center (SMDC), which has a license to the lynda.com videos that you can view in the SMDC.

What we provide here are video lessons that show how to accomplish Web design tasks using your student account on the University of Delaware network, and we walk you through processes for which students have asked to have more detailed instruction than the Safari library contains.

Web design video lessons are available on demand in the following categories:

In addition, Adobe has created a video workshop consisting of movies demonstrating how to use both beginning and advanced features of Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, PhotoShop, Acrobat Professional, Illustrator, InDesign, Bridge, Contribute, and Device Central.
