As educational systems strive to keep up with digital transformations in media and technology, particularly the increased reliance on smart phones, Course Portrait videos are core to a viable media strategy, visually communicating important information to students while stimulating intellectual curiosity -- providing the look, taste and feel of the courses available for viewing and sharing on YouTube, Facebook and other social media.
Benefits to students
- Delivers a thought-provoking class overview for students, personifying the feeling and detail of each class in a digitally-consumable format highly relevant to the increased usage of smart phones.
Benefits to universities
- Dramatically supports and boosts internet presence and awareness of courses, programs, departments, faculties and universities.
