Lesson 3

Repurposing Content

Repurposing content is when we take content and create new presentations with it, in different formats or to target a different audience.

The following are examples of repurposing content:

  • Turning a report or white paper into a slideshow presentation.
  • Taking the content from a brochure and using it for a Youtube video.
  • Using research data to create an infographic in Piktochart.

In this lesson we are going to learn how to repurpose content using free tools such as Audacity, Jing, Piktochart, Prezi and Google Docs.
