Velo for Education

From a syllabus update to a course video, before the semester starts.

Built for teams that refresh course content every term, not once a decade.

Point Velo at the updated syllabus, the Canvas module, or a five-minute lecture recording, and get a course, onboarding, or admissions video, grounded in your actual content and narrated in your voice, before the term begins.

Book a Demo See how it works

The syllabus changed over the summer. Half the course videos are still explaining last year's version.

The knowledge already exists, in the updated syllabus, the revised Canvas module, the new admissions requirement. Turning it into video that's ready for the first day of term is still a manual pass: book the instructional design team, record a lecture, wait on editing before the semester starts.

Works for one term. Breaks down the moment the syllabus changes again, and next term's video is already out of date.

    Course modules shipped, without adding instructional design staff

How a mid-size university got 40 revised course modules video-ready before the fall term.

A regional university's instructional design team of three supported faculty across six departments, each revising roughly ten course modules over the summer ahead of fall term. The team's usual process, scheduling a studio session with each faculty member, recording, then editing, could only realistically cover a fraction of the revised modules before classes started. Faculty resorted to posting text-only updates in Canvas, and student engagement with those modules consistently lagged behind ones that still had the original video.

The team connected Velo to Canvas. As faculty finalized their revised syllabi and module content over the summer, the instructional design team pointed Velo at each update, reviewed a first-draft script with the instructor, and rendered a video in the instructor's own cloned voice. All 40 revised modules had current video attached before the first day of fall term, a workload the team estimated would have taken until October under the old process.
