Below are some guiding steps.

Creating K-12 learning videos

There are 3 aspects or steps to creating the simplest form lesson videos. They are:

Phase 1: Written content lesson

Phase 2: Voiceover

Phase 3: Adding pictures, graphics and animation.

​

The written content carries 60% of the total instructor revenue share, the voiceover carries 20% of the total instructor revenue share and the graphics/pictures takes 20% of the instructor revenue share. Read more about the instructor revenue share here.

As the lesson content creator, you can do all three steps if you have the time or ability. Or, you can decide to do one or two of the three parts, and partner with other people (co-instructors) for the completion of the work. That is to say, you can choose to provide the written content only and let someone else do the voiceover, while another does the graphics. You may not be allowed to do voiceovers for curriculums outside your national curriculum.  

​

Phase 1. Written content lessons: The written tuition lessons forms the most important part of the tuition, because it forms the basis for the voiceover and graphics. Below is the checklist for the written content:

  1. It must be as detailed as possible and should be based on the approved national curriculum and syllabus of your target country. You can use other learning materials for guidance and inspiration but be sure not to incur on any copyright infringement. Any reports of copyright will warrant us to take off your content from our platform and you will be solely responsible any consequences.

  2. The written content is to be prepared or typed in PowerPoint slides. 

  3. The topics and subtopics must tally with the syllabus you are working with.

  4. Kindly go over your work after completion to rid of every form of grammatical or other forms of error. Ensure proper punctuations too prior to submission.

Note: If you are working on the written phase and any other phase, ensure to submit the written content to us for review and approval before proceeding to the next phase(s) (voiceover and animation). 

​

Phase 2. Voiceover: Voiceover helps to explain video lessons. You can record each slide on a device and import them onto the PowerPoint slides. You must find a quiet place (probably in the middle of the night) or invest in a microphone to ensure a good audio quality. Here's your checklist for your voice recordings.

  1. You must use natural-sounding voice and not AI.

  2. You must literally read the content of the text and avoid deviation.

  3. Your audio recording must be devoid of background noise.

  4. Your audio recordings must be clear and be devoid of any form of interferences.

Note: Some phones can help you with good audio recordings. Voiceover takes 20% of the instructors' share of the revenue for K-12 lessons. In an instance where you may not be able to record the audio, we can arrange for a co-instructor to help with that and share in the instructor revenue.

 

Phase 3. Pictures, graphics and animations: P Here are a few checklists for adding pictures and graphics.

  1. The pictures or graphic must be original or from free stock photos on the internet. Ensure not use pictures subject to copyright.

  2. Pictures added to a slide must relate to the written content in the slide and should help explain what is being taught on that slide.  

  3. Animate the pictures/graphics to add fun to the content.

Note that pictures/graphics content takes 20% of the instructors' share of the revenue. In an instance where you may not be able to work on pictures/graphic, we can arrange for a co-instructor to help with that and share in the instructor revenue.

​

After putting together the written, voiceover and pictures/graphics, the entire work is submitted to us for review and approval, after which it is convert into a video and availed for sale on our website. 

Step-by-step guide to video lesson preparation

If you are new and not sure how to start with preparing your K-12 content. Here is a guide.

​

Stage 1: Open the syllabus and select the topics based on the class you are working on. The “teaching and learning section” usually form part of your learning objectives and the lesson topics. Put them on the header of your PowerPoint document. (Sample attached titled Stage 1).

​

Stage 2: Based on these outlined topics, you can provide your written-out tuition., giving example(s) where and when necessary. (Sample attached titled Stage 2).

​

Stage 3: Review your work. Check for grammatical errors, punctuations and every other possible error. Convert to the appropriate fonts and font sizes. Use the ’Comic Sans MS’ font for slide body texts for primary or basic classes and lower (i.e. KG); and ‘Arial’ for classes above primary such as JHS and SHS. Calibre is the heading for all classes. Use font size 24 for the body and 36 for the headings. (Sample attached titled Stage 3).

​

Stage 4: Divide and limit your lesson content to one sentence per slide and two bullet points per slide (for bullet sections). After dividing it, you are ready for recording. (Sample attached titled Stage 4).

​

Stage 5: Record your audio in a separate and transfer it unto the laptop, into the PowerPoint slides. You can record your audio on your phone, but please ensure audio quality. You can get other people to help you out with your audio in case you are having difficulties getting quality audio. (Sample attached titled Stage 5).

​

Stage 6: Add pictures and graphics. Use the pictures and graphics to better explain your content and make it more attractive to the learners. (Sample attached titled Stage 6)
