Video Instruction: How to Use Templates in GMail

This short video shows learners how to use a lesser-known feature in GMail: templates. It was screen-recorded and edited in WeVideo. The title makes it clear to learners the skill being showcased, so they will know immediately whether the instruction will be useful.

Notes:

  • Students are given a visual demonstration of the process along with audio instructions explaining the steps.
  • When the steps take longer to perform than to explain, the video is edited to either remove or speed up those sections.
  • Labels are used throughout the video, so learners can easily find the section they need.
  • The end of the video includes a few tips, which are also labeled. This allows the main tutorial to remain concise, while still considering learner needs.
