Description/Abstract
This presentation highlights the outcomes of a series of student internships that resulted in the production of successively more complex content videos for my undergraduate survey EUH 2021 Medieval European History. The production of the videos mirrored the research process and those creating the videos thought about and worked through the steps that a research project takes. Students enrolled in the course, which explores the period c.400 and c.1400 A.D., oftentimes have a difficult time with how to conceptualize the information, how to navigate the information, and how to delve into the information. The students engaged in the video product created three videos per module with each video scaffolding the research process. The Trailer video introduced the topic and allowed the student to process the subject. The Synopsis video required the student to identify key facets of the topic and think about how to organize an approach to the material. Finally, the Lecture video required the student to research an argument with a thesis and proof of thesis that explored a topic in detail.
