Training Video Series

I made this series of videos for feline trap-neuter-return (TNR) volunteers as a supplement to in-person training. The eleven videos were designed using a combination of my own videos and images, Creative Commons audio clips, and the free trial of Articulate 360 Presenter, Replay, and Quizmaker.

The series is designed to provide just-in-time guidance and answers to questions as volunteers initiate their independent TNR projects. Volunteers can easily access the series on YouTube at any time, and each video covers a specific topic so locating information is easy. Duration ranges from roughly 10-40 minutes, and longer videos include in-depth demonstration and guidance.

Each video starts with a multiple-choice quiz question to test recall of information from a previous in-person training session. Following this is a discussion of the importance of the video topic to the whole TNR project, details about the topic, critical thinking questions, and a wrap-up quiz question. Most videos include demonstration or narrated guidance, where appropriate, and images and targeted animation to assist with learning.

Below you’ll find one video in the series, and you can view the others on YouTube: TNR Training Series Videos.
