75 YouTube Videos Later: Lessons learned from creating 'good enough' Extension videos as a non-professional videographer
Heidi Rader, University of Alaska Fairbanks professor of Extension, will discuss how and why to re-purpose one story into multiple outreach products: from an article to a blog post to a video and more. Drawing on almost two decades of experience producing dozens of YouTube videos and writing a successful blog, this session will equip non-videographer educators with practical tools for creating 'good enough' videos. Participants will learn how to identify story ideas, choose between scripted or interview-style approaches, consider their target audience, and improve audio and video quality using simple techniques.
This session will focus on building a repeatable content workflow that helps educators adapt their messages across formats efficiently, while adapting the content for different target audiences to maximize reach and maintain relevance.
The talk is geared to Extension professionals at land-grant universities throughout the United States. Register using the online form.

Webinar: Alaska’s Growing Mariculture Industry
Mariculture — the cultivation of marine life such as shellfish and seaweeds — is an emerging and expanding sector in Alaska.
In this free presentation, Melissa “Missy” Good, a mariculture specialist with Alaska Sea Grant, will provide an overview of Alaska’s mariculture industry and its role in strengthening coastal economies and food security. She will highlight which species are being cultivated, including kelp and shellfish, and explore how these products move from sea to table. In addition to being nutritious foods, kelp and other seaweeds are used in a wide range of products, including fertilizers, animal feeds, biostimulants, food ingredients, and emerging biomaterials — creating new economic opportunities beyond direct consumption.
Missy is based in Kodiak at the Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center and also serves in a leadership role for the Alaska Mariculture Research and Training Center. Through this work, she advances statewide initiatives and collaborates with community members,…
