Low-Cost, High-Consistency Process Flow For Audio-Visual E-Learning Content Development For Foundational Computer Education On YouTube

Abstract

Educators increasingly need a repeatable, budget-conscious workflow to produce YouTube-ready, audio-visual lessons without sacrificing technical quality or instructional clarity. This paper formalizes a low-cost, high-consistency process flow tailored to foundational computer education and the realities of a solo creator. This study details an end-to-end pipeline optimized for a screen-recording-first setup with affordable peripherals. The contribution is practical and reproducible: a role-agnostic flow with explicit inputs/outputs and quality gates; hardware/software stack mappings; export and archival presets; a YouTube-specific metadata checklist; and a risk register addressing common constraints. To support adoption at different budget levels, this study provides cost tiers with trade-offs and upgrade paths. A brief case snapshot demonstrates feasibility in a real production context, and all operational checklists and presets are presented within the main text.
