In this podcast episode she discusses what it was like to build curriculum at the college level and how to design curriculum for software that is still under development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong>Designing Curriculum Backward at First<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Cara began teaching at Point Park, she inherited a curriculum of broad outcomes like, \u201clearn a nonlinear editor, cut a short scene, understand basic theory,\u201d but few detailed materials like lesson plans. After doing her best to survive during the first year, she rebuilt her courses using backward design in her second year: define what a graduating editor needs to learn, then scaffold each class before it so it both builds on the last and can stand on its own if a student only takes one or two courses. Afterall, not all students were taking film as a major.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key shift was introducing professionally shot <a href=\"http:\/\/editstock.com\"><strong>EditStock<\/strong><\/a> footage to freshman and sophomores. Students worked with realistic short film dailies and learned to handle the amount of footage and storytelling challenges they\u2019ll encounter on projects in their junior and senior years. Those who stayed for just one semester had the experience of editing a real project. The emphasis: teach storytelling skills that outlast any tool\u2014structure, pacing, point-of-view, performance, and problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also set milestone deadlines (half film, rough cut) to encourage good pacing. Who doesn\u2019t have students that try to cut an entire film in one day? Students practiced organization, time management, and scene-by-scene building\u2014so when Production III arrived, stress was manageable and the work improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interactive challenges are the hard\u2014and essential\u2014part<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When building EditMentor courses and lessons, \u201cwriting the text is the easy part,\u201d Cara says. The challenge is creating truly interactive, hands-on activities\u2014beyond \u201cdrop a marker and answer a question\u201d within the software constraints we had at the beginning. EditMentor\u2019s curriculum team began by defining what students must understand, then designed challenges that make those choices interactive: select the best take, trim a scene for point of view, or spot a 180-degree violation. These skills are better taught by having students trim, arrange, and delete clips within a timeline than they are by showing videos or reading PDFs along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Designing challenges first, then filming the footage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some concepts are best taught through mistakes. For example, our broadcast course commissioned footage from students and professionals with intentional rule-breaks and varied line readings. In many cases, they wrote challenge requirements first and captured footage to match, ensuring every activity taught exactly what it needed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Working with subject matter experts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courses with subject matter experts (like Doug Green, Stephen Mark, Sven Pape) required different approaches to \u201cextract\u201d expertise. With Stephen, think-aloud edits while cutting a scene revealed his creative decisions in real time; Doug\u2019s classroom experience brought student-ready explanations; Sven\u2019s YouTube craft translated into thoughts that gen Alpha could already understand. Cara\u2019s curriculum team acted as \u201cfirst students,\u201d using their own confusion and aha moments to shape lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storytelling first (not software)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cara\u2019s team realized they need to de-emphasize \u201cediting\u201d terminology. Many schools already teach software like Adobe Premiere. EditMentor focuses on storytelling, the concepts that transfer across tools, platforms, and projects. That includes teaching subtext, character perspective, and camera dynamics: what characters think they\u2019re saying versus what the camera is really communicating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Product and curriculum, evolving together<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weekly, Cara would propose, \u201cIt\u2019d be amazing if a challenge could do X, Y, Z\u201d ideas to the tech teach. The tech staff would build and ship what was feasible; the rest went into a development backlog. Over time, core teacher needs\u2014student management, activity tracking, grade viewing\u2014shipped as features. Her team also recorded user tests, and pre-release courses to classrooms helped find the rough spots in the curriculum; weak challenges moved to the \u201ccutting-room floor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI and the future of learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New tools\u2014from screen-shared NLE prompts to AI copilots\u2014can help with buttons. But real progress still demands student motivation, teacher guided practice, and critical thinking to make narrative judgments. There\u2019s no silver bullet to learning video storytelling; the craft remains a human decision-making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why it matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video spans news, streaming, social, and branded content, creating many pathways beyond LA and New York. Cara is candid with students and parents: no program can promise a job, especially one that can meet rising costs within the economy. But students who craft strong portfolios, meet deadlines, and build human relationships do land roles. Many of her alumni are now working editors and assistant editors in New York, Hollywood, and of course Pittsburgh.<br><br>Listen to the episode, explore EditMentor\u2019s teacher resources, and see
