Description: Participants in this workshop will learn to use free screencasting tools to capture what appears on their computer screens for a variety of purposes, such as introducing students to online course materials, demonstrating how to complete an activity or solve a problem, or providing feedback on student projects. Screencasts are particularly useful for faculty who teach online courses, as they provide a way to replicate what you might project on the screen in a campus class. They are also particularly useful as a way to provide feedback on student projects that don’t lend themselves easily to written feedback, such as web site projects, Prezi or PowerPoint presentations, digital storytelling videos, or other digital projects. Screencasts export as video files and can be shared wherever you can share other videos, such as on D2L or Google Docs, or via a free video host like YouTube or Vimeo. Requirements: Access to a Mac or PC with the ability to download and install a free screencasting app, if applicable. To record audio narration, you’ll also need a functioning internal or external microphone.
