There are a variety of ways you can go about identifying and inviting students to contribute to CampusReel, but the experience of getting started is the same for everyone.
Watch this short video for an overview of what it looks like from the student's perspective:
Step 1: Receive invitation and sign up as a Content Creator.
They’ll receive the specific account creation link from someone at the school - could be you, could be someone else (usually via email), create their account and be immediately dropped into their Content Creator Dashboard.
Step 2: Consume the in-dashboard training
The dashboard takes them through a short training that covers self-recording best practices and how to navigate the dashboard.
From there, they set about looking at their tasks, recording, and uploading their clips.
Step 3: Download CampusReel Creator App.
The app connects to the student's Content Creator account. They'll see their outstanding tasks (prompts), and have the ability to either record within the app, or upload videos and photos from their existing media library.
Step 4: Record and upload content!
The number and type of clips your students upload will largely depend on the tasks and expectations you set for them. A "Day in the life" sequence may appear in your dashboard as 10-15 (give or take) short clips submitted over a few days that will all synthesize into one video, while another more straightforward testimonial or interview style video will be submitted as one longer piece of content.
If students are expected to submit content periodically over a given period of time, you can always build a new task and assign it to that individual when the time comes.
