Mini-Lecture Series


for Building a Bridge to Your Future

The following video clips are part of Academic Innovations’ Mini-Lecture Series. We have produced these short videos in order to help instructors with their class presentations, whether they are in the classroom or working remotely with their students.


How does it work?

When you are making a presentation to your class, log on to the Teachers' Lounge page, and open the desired video. Play it from your computer through an LCD if in the classroom or, if presenting remotely, from your online meeting software (such as Zoom, Google Meets, Microsoft teams). You’ll do this by sharing your screen with your students so they can watch it with you.

The video will play directly from our servers. Access is strictly controlled due to copyright requirements.

These videos have been conceptualized by Dr. Karen Miles, the co-author of Building a Bridge to Your Future, to help as you deliver the content to your students. Each video is short and can be shown in class to launch discussion of a topic.

Here's a list of all the videos:
