The U. is a "learn by doing" technical series where the host walks through the learning objectives step-by-step with the learner.
- 15-30 min video
- videos cover all topics, Cisco products, and adjacent tech (AWS, Terraform and more...)
- SME does the lab/code/steps ... etc., on video, walking the learner through it step by step
- [Optional] Lab Guide is attached to each video, tied to a Cisco U. tutorial or L&C GitHub Repo
The goal for these videos is to be focused on teaching one topic, not just for coding or automation, but all the topics within Learning & Certs, such as networking, security, etc. Try to think of topics that you struggled with and cover a variety of difficulty from beginner to expert. Some videos may focus on teaching an introduction to something for a beginner, while others may be a deeper dive on a topic for a more dedicated audience.
These are different than Snack Minute because they are more in depth and are in a tutorial, step-by-step format instead of an interview / demo structure that Snack Minute follows.
Simple!
- Find a topic relevant to the content (Learning Paths, Courses) in Cisco U.
- Start the video with "Welcome to another episode of The U., My Name is ... " introduce yourself and the topic.
- Use this slide to outline the learning objective and steps you will cover.
- Use a video recording tool. I recommend using Camtasia. It will require some budget, but is worth the cost.
- Share your Camtasia project to this Sharepoint folder
- Create a new folder with the episode number, episode title, and your initials, for example,
EP01-Fun with python Strings-KI. - Extract your Camtasia project and upload it to the newly created folder here's how to extract your project
- Create a new folder with the episode number, episode title, and your initials, for example,
- If you use a recording tool other than Camtasia, share your raw footage at high-res.
