@Bella - Thank you for all you have done at Udemy and specifically within this community.

KylePew · ‎12-31-2022

Awesome! Seeing those numbers really puts perspective on what Udemy offers to both Instructors and learners. Thank you Udemy!

Thought I'd share a creation from one of my students. During the course I ask for screenshots to show off progress within the course. Here is one I received today in the QA board. What do you think? I think it's spot on.

I've been trying to learn a new language. Something I've been trying to do for years. I picked up Peter Hanley's "Spanish for Beginners" course. I've really enjoyed the flow of the course and the repetition he applies throughout the lectures. I'm still an absolute beginner but the course has been awesome! I hope one day to be able to carry a conversation in Spanish and maybe apply it to the courses I teach.

I've been teaching on Udemy for almost 7 years. My A/V setup has change dramatically over those 7 years. As time went by I would "upgrade" bits and pieces, here and there. Not only has the equipment changed, but the knowledge I have gained using the equipment has increased as well. But I still got loads of room to improve my knowledge and techniques while recording online course.

Awesome!

I like the idea @debra1111 mentioned above about incentives to help students complete the course. I currently use the educational announcements and the QA board to interact with students and encourage the learning process, but I think the idea of badges and "milestones" students achieve throughout the course is something that will help engagement.

Still hard to believe

Start now!

I got a review that made me laugh. It said... "You're not McDonalds, but I'm loving it!"

I already got a t-shirt, but thought I's post as well. I moved from California to Utah and continued working for a previous employer providing training in the classroom, online and at client sites. When I was at home, not actively teaching, I decided to create a simple course and test the waters of teaching on Udemy. Still here 6 years later. Thank you Udemy!

Hello @AlessandroB879 - Yes, you can offer your courses on other platforms, but if the course is paid on Udemy you can't offer it free on other platforms. If the course is included in the Udemy Business program then it becomes exclusive to the Udemy platform. You will receive a notice from Udemy if one of your courses is included in the business program.

Hello Isabela - Welcome to Udemy. Yes, once a course is published you can modify the curriculum adding and removing lectures. It's a great idea to receive feedback from enrolled students to get ideas on where the course can be improved and modify from there.

Hello - When the video is rejected do you get any message on what requirement was not met? If I remember correctly, there is a maximum file size. Do you know the size of the MP4 you are uploading?

KylePew · ‎09-29-2021

A great opportunity to participate in making Udemy an even better platform for instructors. Thank you Udemy for providing this improvement and support for the instructors.

OBS - Open Broadcaster Software. I use OBS to record all my talking head/screen sharing lectures. The program makes it easy to record all my video and audio with loads of features to boost quality in both. I used Camtasia in the early days, but switched to OBS and haven't looked back.

KylePew · ‎01-30-2021

You can fake a zoom by using scenes with different levels of scale on your display capture. But, I use a free app while recording called ZOOMIT, that allows you to zoom and write on the screen. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) - It's relatively easy to get configured and works great. Open Broadcaster Software®️ | OBS (obsproject.com)

Typically internal mics won't provide the sound quality that a good external mic will offer. For example, I use a USB Blue Yeti Mic and a Sony A6400 to record my courses. The Blue Yeti gets much better sound quality then the internal mic on the A6400.

KylePew · ‎07-21-2020

This is awesome! Now I just have to turn off my Toon Blast reminder. 🙂 Thank you

KylePew · ‎05-26-2020

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is awesome. www.obsproject.com

KylePew · ‎04-07-2020

Some of my students have been seeing the same thing. I've contacted InstructorSupport@Udemy.COM They are looking into it, but it's been a while.

KylePew · ‎03-21-2020

Hello - It looks like the link to your test video is connected to the login. Can you provide a link that is outside of Udemy?

KylePew · ‎09-25-2019

I’ve had the students clear the cache in the browser and that seems to fix the issue.

KylePew · ‎09-24-2019

Hello Bob - Congratulations on starting your first course. I've been teaching and creating Microsoft Office videos for the past several years and haven't run into any permission issues with Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft has reached out to me to use some of my training videos for their purposes.

KylePew · ‎09-10-2019

I don't have a signature item that I wear. But, it might sound corny, I always try to smile when I'm in the video. It may not be a literal smile but I try to keep it upbeat. I think this helps in keeping the students engaged and interested in the material.

I started out with a logitech webcam and a couple of small lights. After a couple of courses I upgraded to using a Sony A6000 with a Sony ECM-GZ1M mic in the cameras Multi-Interface Shoe. I also purchased a simple retractable green screen, from Elgato. When I made the upgrade I also changed from using Camatasia to OBS. OBS is super easy to use with the green screen adjustments. I recently upgraded to a Sony A6400. This camera gives me more options as far as microphones are concerned as the A6000 didn't have a Mic input other then the Multi-Interface slot at the top of the camera. My lighting has also changed over time, I now have a couple of LED panel lights to light me and the green screen.

If it’s something you plan on devoting time to, then do it. When I first started on Udemy, I did a keyword search and there was nearly 900 courses on the topic I was planning a course on. You need to work to get your course to do well. Answer student questions, use your educational announcements to benefit the students. Overall go above and beyond your students expectations.

You can setup your PowerPoint to "BROWSED BY AN INDIVIDUAL (Window)". You'll find this option in the SET UP SHOW command on the SLIDE TAB. This option allows you to resize the window and present with all the animations. I've done this before where I'll have an Excel worksheet open and the PowerPoint presentation side by side as I describe a process in Excel.

I like the Blue Yeti and Snowball. Both have been awesome. The snowball is more compact is that is a concern. Are you recording talking heads in your videos?
