AMP it up.

This piece of software looks interesting for the creation of multimedia items. You can incorporate video, audio, office components, documentation, scripts and just about anything that you can view in a browser.

Could be very useful for creating VLE content, and at £45 a year it looks like a snip.

Atomic Learning

 

 The college has access to the Atomic Learning site, which is a great tool for short video tutorials for teaching or CPD.

Atomic Learning provides thousands of short, easy-to-understand tutorial movies and a library of curriculum resources that can be used as an integral part of a professional development programme, a valuable curriculum supplement, and an anytime/anywhere software training resource.”

TeacherTube

Often, if you want a short video clip on a common topic, the chances are that it already exists out there. YouTube is always worth a search as is TeacherTube which is obviously a little more specialised.

If you find something you want, you can usually embed it in a web or blog page, or in your VLE, like the clip below from TeacherTube. Embedding it has the advantage that you will have no copyright worries, as you are embedding (hosting) rather than copying the content. Unless the original content is suspect, of course: common sense is required. On the downside, the owner might delete the content without notice.
