Keep your educational video script digestible by focusing on 3-5 key takeaways that can be concisely conveyed to the viewer. Most people don’t want to watch an hour-long lecture, especially on a website service or product page, so keep it brief and to the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Educational video script template<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Script: <\/strong>Welcome and thanks for checking out this video introducing the CUNY SPS OpenLab! [OL homepage] OpenLab is a collaborative digital platform built by CUNY, for CUNY, from BuddyPress and WordPress, two popular content management systems used on the web across industries. [Accompanying visual: slide displaying WP %s and WP\/BP logos]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intro: Quickly introduce the topic. Be sure to include why it\u2019s important so viewers know why they should watch the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Script: <\/strong>[Back to OL homepage] This video is designed for CUNY SPS staff, faculty, and students. If you\u2019re an active member of the CUNY SPS community, you can sign up or sign in seamlessly using your CUNY login information. [Share signup\/sign in button locations, provide SSO example workflow onscreen] Users can create their own groups, join existing projects or student organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Takeaways: Provide 3-5 tips, facts, or other kinds of takeaways. Give a short bit of context or background and go straight into the takeaway. You want to keep these rather short, so only provide the necessary details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s an educational video script template you can use:<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Script: <\/strong>This video will introduce some of the coolest features available on the CUNY SPS OpenLab. We\u2019re going to start by checking out the user profile [screenshare of navigating to the user profile from logged-in homescreen], where you can share your academic interests, any contact information, a short bio, your pronouns, and any other info you want to share with other CUNY SPS community members. All of these fields are OPTIONAL, so if you have privacy concerns for any reason, you\u2019re welcome to use an anonymized handle instead of your legal or chosen name. [profile edit settings] The only connection between your OL account and your official CUNY records happens on the backend of the site, which only site administrators can view. You can choose how you display your own information, including what information you share at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, from the user profile, you\u2019ll be able to quickly navigate to any groups you have joined! When you\u2019re brand-new to the site, you won\u2019t see any items listed here, but there\u2019s a simple way to join groups! Many of the groups on the OL are OPEN, which means you\u2019re easily able to opt into group updates by joining a public group, like The Open Road [Share active user\u2019s profile view, then navigate to homepage and click into one group type from the homepage to view \u201cjoin\u201d button on group profile]. Once you join a group, you\u2019ll be subscribed to email notifications when there is new content published to the group site! [share email settings options within group profile] This can be a great way to reach folks easily to announce upcoming events or other time-sensitive updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hook: Grab the reader\u2019s attention, and clearly identify what they will be learning in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Back to homepage] One final item to note: because the CUNY SPS OpenLab has a dot-edu domain (meaning the web address ends in \u201c.edu\u201d), any public content that you publish can be easily found using a search engine, such as Google or Bing. [navigate to google.com<\/a> and run an OL search] This can be a huge asset during job or internship searches, if you\u2019re seeking a wider audience for your project or club, or to help you find additional groups that interest you on the OpenLab! Try navigating to Google and searching for \u201cSOMETHING ON THE OPENLAB CUNY SPS\u201d and see what you can find!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call to Action: Where should the viewer go next? Do you have an additional resource they can view? Want them to join your email list? Clearly communicate their next step here. You may even want to embed a link in the video so they can click it and go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Script: <\/strong>Thanks so much for watching. [Nav back to OpenLab homepage, logged out view, highlight sign up button] Get started today by signing up from openlab.sps.cuny.edu<\/a> [can we include a clickable link embedded into the video?] and clicking \u201csign up\u201d from the homepage. Once you\u2019ve successfully entered your required information, you\u2019ll be able to start exploring and joining public groups on the OpenLab!

4. Product tour or explainer video script template<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Explainer videos, similar to how-to or educational videos, should present the information in a way that is easy to understand. To avoid overwhelming the viewer, break down the topic into smaller chunks and omit unnecessary or irrelevant details. The main goal of an explainer video is to provide an overview of a product, service, or concept, so it’s important to stay focused on that objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use this explainer video script to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hook\/Intro<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Describe what you will be explaining in the video and why the viewer should care about this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Main Points\/Features\/Steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take the viewer through 3-5 points that guide them through the product, service, or process that you are explaining. Keep these concise, and don\u2019t include any unnecessary information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion\/CTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What should the viewer walk away with? Reiterate the importance of what you have explained. Then, include a CTA that brings them to the next step in the journey, whether that\u2019s to buy something or get additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
