In this episode, we’ll explore insights from Patricia Regier’s latest blog and video, where she shares why these simple yet strategic videos are key to enhancing engagement. Patricia talks about connecting personally with learners right from the start, explaining why each module matters, and using little tricks, like leaning in or adjusting the camera, to make it all feel more intimate. We’ll also look at ways to spark interaction and make courses more dynamic, going beyond the basics of lectures and demos. Whether you’re an educator or course creator, stay tuned to learn how adding a personal touch can make all the difference in creating a standout learning experience!"

AI-generated podcast based on the blog by Patricia Regier and generated via Google NotebookLM. I laughed when I directed how I wanted the podcast to sound, including being more professional, etc., and asked them to pronounce my last name correctly. I didn't expect them to point out it in the podcast. I decided to leave that in. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog and tutorial about using AI in strategic and creative ways.
