 * Creating Instructor-Made Videos to Scaffold Learning for the Under Resourced Student **

Instructors are constantly thinking about how to enhance student learning and retention beyond the given classroom. Instructor-made videos (IMV) may be an option for instructors looking to scaffold learning in a just in time format. Additionally, the literature shows that IMVs placed in the course where students are struggling the most may assist students in understanding key concepts. This type of innovation also allows under resourced students, those students who have trouble understanding formal language register such as the language presented in textbooks, to better understand concepts. This presentation will give instructors ideas for when to offer timely IMVs to students as well as some video tools instructors can use in their courses to create videos of varying lengths. Furthermore, a brief discussion of language in videos to better serve the under resourced student will be presented. References Evans, H. K. (2014).

//Interactivity // Participants will be guided through creating a video. In the time allotted we will be able to show the participants an example video, they will be able to create a video without signing up for the service (Screen-Cast-o-Matic). They will have the option of screen capture as well as using their web cams. In the time allotted, participants will be given the option to share their videos with the other participants.
