Our team makes extensive use of its own video courses when teaching students on this master's programme.

Producing a video course is, however, a complex, multifaceted process that requires careful preparation and organisation. Here are the main stages and considerations.

Content preparation

Before filming begins, the team develops a detailed course plan and prepares the necessary materials, including presentations, videos and assignments. The course needs a clear structure and well-defined core topics.

Choosing a recording format

An online course can be filmed in various formats, from straightforward recorded lectures to more interactive presentations incorporating additional tools and graphics.

Setting up the equipment

Producing an online course requires good-quality equipment, such as a camera, microphone and lighting. Everything must be properly configured and ready for use.

Filming and editing

Before recording starts, the team checks that all equipment is working correctly. During filming, the lecturer follows the prepared course plan and records the lectures. Post-production includes trimming footage, colour correction and adding graphics and other elements.

Creating an online course takes time, effort and professional expertise, but the finished result makes the work worthwhile.
