As Ten with Kenbegins its FIFTH season, we\\u2019re adopting some online video best practices and streamlined processes that we think will be big improvements!

\\xa01. New Brand!

We\\u2019re using a compressed, 4-second \\u201cbumper\\u201d more suitable to shorter videos, and showcasing 10K\\u2019s first real logo. The icon, simultaneously a stylized \\u201cK\\u201d and the symbol for \\u201cforward-looking video,\\u201d nicely sums up what we\\u2019re all about.

2. Colour Coding

You\\u2019ll see that logo in at least 5 different colours, to identify the topic of each episode and make it easier to browse our channel, which now has more than 100 videos!

• Blue \\u2013 Marketing & Branding
• Green \\u2013 Teaching & Learning
• Purple \\u2013 Innovation & Entrepreneurship
• Orange \\u2013 Interviews & Campus Visits
• Red \\u2013 Social Media

\\xa03. Every Friday

Instead of being \\u201calmost weekly,\\u201d we\\u2019re now going to aim to publish new episodes every Friday morning. It\\u2019s going to be a real challenge, but it will help people find us if we can be consistent.

4. Shorter Episodes

It\\u2019s going to help us publish weekly if we vary the format, from 2 and 3 minute videos all the way up to 10 minute episodes. Instead of comprehensive looks at particular topics, which usually take weeks of research, we\\u2019re going to try episodes based on a list of 10 things, or a selection of 10 slides already in Ken\\u2019s master deck \\u2013 which has more than 7,000 to choose from now!

5. Campus Visits

For years we\\u2019ve attended the Ontario Universities\\u2019 Fair, and gathered enough footage to keep us busy for months!\\xa0 The problem is that it skewed our coverage towards 4-year universities based in Ontario, while Ken actually spends half his time on 2-year college campuses across Canada, and increasingly in the US as well. This year, we\\u2019ve started a new approach, shooting interviews and facilities tours while Ken is already on campus to deliver a lecture or facilitate a workshop or retreat. So far, Simon Fraser University, Brandon University, Lethbridge College, and LaSalle College Vancouver have all generously provided the expertise and talent of their staff or student videographers to assist Ken on campus.

If you\\u2019d like us to interview someone on your campus, or feature an innovative program or new facility, you just need to find an excuse to bring Ken to campus!\\xa0Check out some options at http://eduvation.ca/services/campus-pd-presentations/
