Plan Ahead

• Plan out your presentation in advance with an outline, sketch, or notes.
• If it's a long presentation, look for natural breaks and create multiple videos.

Keep it Short

• One topic, one point, one Glass.
• If you can’t fit it all on the Glass, then you can’t fit it in a single video.

What to Wear

• Do wear darker clothing, it creates a background for the Learning Glass text. A long sleeved, black shirt would be ideal (for legibility, but it may create the illusion of a floating head and hands).
• Light or bright colored clothing will obscure the text when you are standing behind it.
• No distracting patterns. In particular, repeated stripes will create a moiré effect.
• No text, the Learning Glass is mirrored so all printed text will be backwards.

Best Practices

The recommended practices for creating a Learning Glass video are no different than making any kind of instructional video.

• Do one or two takes.
• It doesn't have to be perfect, inconsequential mistakes are humanizing.
• A good presentation, on a important topic, can have instructional value for years.

If Kaltura Capture does not respond you may need to reinstall Kaltura.

Note: This has happened to a couple of people, no work has been lost.
