Showcase: Course Introduction Videos

In SPAN103: Intermediate Spanish, Professor Garcia welcomes students with an engaging, personal welcome video. The short video provides an overview of the course, particularly important for online courses. 

Professor Garcia invites the students into a cultural journey with an engaging, personal welcome video. The short video begins with an introduction, incorporating real-life scenarios to emphasize the importance of learning Spanish. It is followed by a brief overview of the content and highlights the methodology of the course, helping students set their expectations for the semester. Additionally, the video provides insights into the cultural aspects that will be covered in the course and concludes with a message, fostering a sense of support and encouragement for students during the semester.


A simple introduction video is a great starting point for your course. It gives you a chance to briefly introduce who you are, what the course is about and what students can expect throughout the term. With a short video of 1-2 minutes, instructors can provide a visual prologue to the course, infusing their personality, much like the first day of class in a traditional face-to-face setting.
