Description of presentation - Context, content it covers, how it fits in the overall course, unit or

5 minutes - if content takes longer then that we suggest chunking it into multiple presentations - the
shorter time supports students ability to focus on discrete chunks of content, and then engage in
activities around the content. In an online setting, students don't have opportunity to ask questions,
hear questions of others, or for the faculty to read the student's faces to check their understanding of
the content, which is part of the reasoning for shorter videos
