Playlists
Are your videos designed to be viewed in a particular
order? Playlists can be used not only to create a clear path
for your viewer to get from one lecture to the next, but
they are also a great way to organize your content around a
curriculum.
• Create a playlist for a course featuring videos that
should be watched in a specific order.
• If you are utilizing playlists for courses, try to guide
your viewers from one video to the next by giving
them a quick recap of what they’ve learned and a
preview about what’s coming up next.
• Even when in a playlist, be sure to use annotations and
in-video CTAs to help viewers navigate the lesson.
• You can also use playlists to organize videos into
themes or topics as supplements to a specific
curriculum or lesson plan.
Syllabus-based Playlists and Content
• /richthornley (right) makes videos around the IB
Chemistry course structure, making it an easy and
useful resource for IB teachers all over the world.
Interstitial Creator & In/Out Points
(Editing Playlist Help link)
The Interstitial Creator can be used to provide more
context about the overall curriculum or lesson within
playlists.
• Use the interstitial feature to insert text cards
between videos in your playlist, acting as
introductions or reviewing key concepts from
previous videos.
When curating videos from other channels into
educational playlists, the ‘start and end time’ feature
can be used to highlight specific segments for your
audience instead of the entire video.
• Use the ‘start and end time’ feature to set in/out
points for the video being featured, highlighting
the best or most useful information.
