Define Your Signature Video Style – Free Mini-Course for Educators

Discover how to make your teaching videos instantly recognisable and professionally consistent — without expensive equipment or editing skills.

In this short, practical course, you’ll learn to define your signature video style — the set of visual, audio, and structural choices that make your content stand out and build lasting trust with learners. Whether you teach on YouTube, Moodle, or Udemy, a consistent style helps you communicate more clearly, connect more deeply, and produce videos faster.

• How to use voice, tone, and pacing to engage adult learners.
• How to design your content structure for maximum clarity and retention.
• How to define your audience positioning so your videos resonate with the right viewers.
