• In the video, talk to your audience instead of reading to them.
• Include body gestures like slight movement of the hands or arms, smile or eye contact. 

MIT produced a primer for optimising videos for learning. You might be interested to read it to seek ideas. 

Who will make videos?

Ideally SIG members should produce the videos. ANGEL projct officer Kester Muller has video editing training so can also provide support, at the very least with adding branding etc., and uploading the videos to YouTube.
