  • About
The purpose of this site is to provide a library of self-introduction videos for students to view their instructors.  Students may choose to view these videos before they sign up for a course or they may choose to view them once enrolled in the course.

Self introductions are one of the first things students see when they begin a course and help to set the stage for what students can expect to experience throughout the term. Impactful self introductions have the potential to:

  • humanize an instructor's presence in a virtual environment.
  • excite students about what they’ll experience in the course.
  • dispel fears or uncertainty among students.
  • quickly establish rapport and open a connection.
