These pages provide an overview of different types and categories of videos that can be used for teaching and learning. Click on each of the categories below, or on a specific type of video, to get additional information, tips, and examples. 
If you have an idea for a video project that you don't find covered on these pages, please get in touch with us! We're always excited about interesting and innovative ideas and will offer guidance and support where we can. 
  • Requires minimal preparation and basic equipment
  • Recording time: approximately 15-30 minutes
  • allow some extra time for uploading, embedding, and minor edits in Panopto
  • Requires a moderate amount of preparation, similar to what a lecture / tutorial / studio / lab might require. Might include preparing resources, slides, set up. 
  • Recording time required: approximately 20 – 60 minutes (once preparation is complete) 
  • Achievable by one person with basic equipment
  • Editing can be done with Panopto
  • Requires more complex planning, preparation, coordination and set up 
  • Requires potentially more than one person 
  • Recording / creation time: approximately 1-3 hours 
  • Could potentially involve local travel and some additional equipment
  • ​Some minor post production potentially required  
  • Requires extensive planning and coordination and preparation 
  • Requires specialised equipment and post production
  • Requires media designer and / or image services 
  • Requires multiple people who need to be involved from planning through to post 
  • Requires consultation
  • Time effort required will vary, but will be 3+ hours  (but could be significantly more) 
  • Input-output efforts would potentially improve if this is part of a series of videos, or part of a bigger project with greater impact
