Producing educational media with ACU Studios

ACU Studios empower educators in creating educational videos with tailored multimedia solutions to enrich student learning. Our team collaborates with teaching staff in producing video learning materials.

We are a team of individuals who are equipped with:

  • High quality camera and sound gear equipment
  • Expertise with video production to assist you with:
    • Pre-production: Concept development, scripting, and storyboarding
    • Production: Directing & Filming
    • Pre-production: Editing

Production types

Exemplars

Exemplar videos serve as ideal models that can be imitated or studied. They help students visualise successful work, making academic standards clear and reducing confusion. By providing concrete examples of quality performance, exemplar videos build student confidence and guides them toward producing work that meets the learning outcomes.

Administering a drug to a patient

In this video, we filmed an exemplar on how to administer a new drug prescribed to a patient. It was crucial to identify the important stages that should be covered every time a new drug is administered.

The stages were:

  • 3-Point ID Check
  • Evidence of therapeutic communication
  • Consider Therapeutic Drug Monitoring requirements
  • Patient education provided and side effects discussed

Insulin deconstruction

In this video, we filmed how to perform an insulin check with another registered nurse. 
Demonstrations

Demonstration videos are short instructional videos that show how to do something step by step—rather than just telling learners what to do. They model a process, skill, or behavior in action.

How to cook scrambled eggs!

We filmed a series of videos showcasing both basic and advanced cooking techniques in collaboration with our nutrition staff from the School of Behavioural and Health Sciences. This video features a quick demonstration of how to cook scrambled eggs by the wonderful Chef Maria.

Surface Anatomy Demonstrations

In this project, we worked with an academic teaching surface anatomy, demonstrating how to properly look and identify different parts of the body.

This type of videos help students better understand practical concepts by providing clear, visual demonstrations that support hands-on learning.
Interviews

Expert insights help bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice, giving students access to practical examples, current industry knowledge, and the kind of tacit expertise that textbooks often cannot capture.

Subject-only Interview

This resource was created for a nursing unit focused on palliative care. In this video, we interview Father Joshua Scott, former ACU Chaplain, who shares his experience in pastoral care and offers guidance on how to connect patients with priests for pastoral and spiritual support when they request it.

The format was made in a way that the interviewee is only shown, and questions are shown on screen via a slide.
2-Person Interview

This resource was created for a history and archaeology unit focusing on the Dead Sea Scrolls. In this video, we interview Dr. Gareth Warne, Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies, who discusses the Dead Sea Scrolls and their origins.

The interview is designed to be conversational and includes simple editing elements, such as images and graphics, to help illustrate what is being discussed.
Panel Interview

This resource was created to raise awareness about antisemitism and how to address related issues. It brings together several subject matter experts to share their insights and perspectives.

The format is a panel interview featuring three interviewees and one interviewer, designed to create a conversational and engaging discussion.
Dialogue Videos

 

Dialogue-based videos close learning gaps by turning complex concepts into relatable conversations. Each video uses a diagnostic approach—where a “student” voice expresses common misunderstandings and an instructor guides them toward the right reasoning. This conversational format, paired with visual cues and short, focused segments, reduces cognitive load and makes abstract ideas easier to grasp. Unlike mini-lectures, these videos emphasize problem-solving through dual-channel processing (visual + auditory), creating an engaging, informal tone that resonates with learners. Plus, their asynchronous design gives students the flexibility to pause, replay, and revisit content—perfect for self-paced learning.
Simulation materials

Simulations create immersive learning environments where students engage in scenarios designed to reflect real-world settings. Instructors define and control the parameters of these environments to guide students toward achieving specific outcomes. By experiencing the realism of the scenario, students can interact meaningfully and derive deeper understanding from the process.

The Sunnybrook Simulated Mental Health Placement

In this project, we collaborated with occupational therapy academics in creating simulation materials for Mental Heath Simulated placement for 2nd year students.

The undertaking involved capturing different types of videos such as

  • Talking heads
  • b-rolls
  • Interviews
  • Simple graphic editing
