Any content that is industry related. You can choose a topic you already have material on, or a topic that you are passionate about.

Yes, in order to be eligible for CPD credits we require certain standards for each course:
1.Courses must be between 1 - 8 hours in length (courses shorter than 60 minutes will not be accepted)
2.Course Quiz (You can easily create a multiple-choice quiz in the Course Set Up. Your quiz must have a minimum of 4 questions, directly related to the content of your course.)
3.Student Handout (Please provide a handout for students in PDF format. You can provide a short summary or presentation slides.)
4.Your presentation MUST have visual support (slides, animated text, flipcharts or similar) that accompany your lecture throughout every course video. Please make sure that audio and visual content is synchronized to provide the student with an engaging course. Note that a recorded video of you speaking in front of the camera does not count as visual support.

Atmosphere Pointers
1.Make sure you are in a quiet environment
2.Try not to record in an empty room so the sound won’t bounce too much off the walls
3.Record everything in the same room/setting: If breaks are taken in the recording, make sure to record the next session in the same room/environment to get parity in sound throughout your presentation
4.Record in a space with good acoustics. The more blankets and soft things around the room to absorb sound, the better
5.Check for background noise in the room, even a faint humming can go into the recording, especially if you don't have control over your gain

Technical Pointers
1.Keep the gain/recording level around -6 Db
2.Stay close to the microphone (distance should not be more than 1-2 inches)
3.Make sure you're not too close to the mic to let the audio "clip" when it hits its limit. Making quiet audio louder is easy. It's much harder to recover loud audio.
4.Be aware that microphones easily pick up on sharp noises such as mouse clicks or a glass being sat down on a table
5.Do a test recording and listen to it to see if the sound is as you want it to be
6.If possible, wear headphones. That way you know exactly what is being recorded and you can make the appropriate adjustments on the go or do a re-recording of a passage should anything happen that downgrades the quality of your recording

1.Use a tripod or stabilize your camera by placing it on a sturdy surface
2.Have the face of the person in the video be well lit. Avoid light sources from behind that backlights the subject
3.If you don’t have a suitable lamp, recording next to a large window can be an excellent alternative
4.Make sure the presentation format is set to widescreen (16x9 inches for PowerPoint presentations)
5.If you use a screen recording tool, make sure the video is not blurry when you export the file

1.Use the following format: Widescreen (16x9 inches for PowerPoint presentations)
2.Keep it simple: Simplify and limit the number of words for each slide. Use key phrases and include only essential information.
3.Limit punctuation and avoid putting words in all capital letters. Empty space on the slide will enhance readability
4.Use high-quality graphics
5.Consistent design: Use a consistent visual theme throughout your presentation, don’t use too many different colors and fonts
