Regardless of whether video is used for an online course, or serves as supplemental material in another course format, the videos must be watched by students in support of their learning. If professors give video production their best effort and still end up with undesirable outcomes, how can institutions better support the production of high-quality learning media? It is at the intersection of quality, production method variety, and education outcomes that the work of the authors in the Office of Curriculum and Instructional Support (CIS) at Central Michigan University (CMU) becomes highly relevant. The authors describe how three state-of-the-art digital content recording studios ("Maker Spaces") at CMU improved the quality of educational media that could be created on campus. These user-centered studios were designed to remove barriers to high-quality media production, so faculty could create professional videos while keeping their focus on instruction and engagement and not on operating technology. Thanks to the success of these Maker Spaces, CMU was able to more efficiently pivot to online instruction and ensure faculty had a way to create high-quality teaching materials for their virtual classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
