Video Brings Voice, Complementarity and Multilingual Reach to our Biodemography Textbook
James Carey
Description
I will report on the strategies and methods I am using to produce playlists of scripted video modules for virtually all of the content in each of 11 chapters in my recently published textbook Biodemography: An Introduction to Concepts and Methods (2020. J. R. Carey and D. A. Roach, Princeton). I will describe production methods, preliminary results of both subtitling and inserting AI-generated speech in multiple languages, and lessons learned.
