What is a course trailer?
A course trailer is a short video that uses multimedia to provide information about the course with the intention of engaging the learner. In two to four minutes, a course trailer should convey a compelling invitation for students to see the essence of the course in relation to the real world, why it’s important for them, and what they’ll take away. Think about it as your course outline's sidekick!
