Screencasting Workshop Handout
- 1. Damien Raftery eLearning Development Officer @damienraftery
- 2. Developing educational screencasts What is a screencast? – Potential uses – Examples and exemplars – Word of caution and example use Screen capture process Screen capture software – Recording options – Publishing References
- 3. What is a screencast? A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen activity, often containing audio narration – Budgett et al (2007) … a “look over my shoulder” effect similar to one-on-one instruction … access whenever and wherever it is convenient – Educause Learning Initiative (2006)
- 4. … appeals to different learning styles* … more approachable than glitzy packaged instructional videos – Kanter B (2008) Podcasting is Dead. Long Live Video! – Cann A J (2007) Builds on existing teaching expertise What is a screencast? * Debunked by Donald Clark, David Didau, Cathy Moore (The Guardian slide, broader learning myths) preferences
- 5. Potential uses • introducing a module • providing guidelines or giving an overview • reviewing a difficult concept • previewing a forthcoming lecture, reviewing or summarising a previous lecture • supporting an activity or project • revising for a test • answering frequently asked questions
- 7. Potential uses • demonstrating a software or website feature (particularly useful for software that students have limited access to) • illustrating the steps to solve a problem • explaining a technical diagram or picture • correcting or giving feedback – Raftery D (2010) • handwriting a solution using a tablet with voice-overs (mathcasts) – Bonnington et al (2007), Budgett et al (2007), Fahlberg et al (2007)
- 10. Where your students will use the screencast? computer lab v. online

- 12. Example: rethinking a computer lab Videos replace demonstrations of lecturer – accommodates students with different speeds of comprehension – lecturer spends more time with weaker students without having to restrict the progression of the stronger students O’Loughlin (2009) Videos replace lab classes? – videos with exercise files available online – students submit homework for grading Nicholson & Nicholson (2010)
- 13. Screen capture process - Raftery D (2010) Prepare • Plan carefully • Create a storyboard (optional) • Keep short (split if necessary) • Decide when to record audio • Create a script (optional) • Incorporate cues to encourage active learning Capture • Use computer, screen capture software and microphone • Record important part of the screen at low resolution • Chunk and minimise cognitive overload • Record and review a rough run-through Produce • Edit video • Edit narration (or record audio at this point) • Add captions, highlights and other elements • Add pauses with instructions • Add interactivity and quizzes Publish • Create final files in desired format and quality (e.g. MP4) • Upload to VLE, blog or webpage See also Mount N & Chambers C (2008) and Oud J (2009)
- 14. Pedagogical framework for screencasting Robert Talbert • Keep it Simple: Focus on one idea at a time • Keep it Short: Keep videos to a length 5-6 minutes max. to maximize attention • Keep it Real: Model the decision making and problem solving processes of expert learners • Keep it Good: Be intentional about planning the video. Strive to produce the best video and audio quality possible http://wiki.ubc.ca/Documentation:Design_Principles_for_Multimedia

- 18. Aside: Recording on a tablet Overview from Dr Frances Boylan DIT Example recorded using iPad with stylus (be careful with audio quality) http://explaineverything.com/
- 19. Create a screencast Task #1 – go to screencast-o-matic & create account – record a short test screencast – download MP4 file – upload MP4 to HEA Media Hosting or YouTube – embed your screencast in Blackboard Task #2 – Open PowerPoint. Go to Insert tab. Select Screen Recording to record test screencast. Save as MP4. (see how to video) – Go to Slide Show tab. Select Record Slide Show. (see how to video)
- 20. Publishing: sharing your screencast Host online, link to/embed in Blackboard HEAnet Media Hosting (screencast overview) "Users can upload their original videos using an easy-to-use upload form. The videos are transcoded into formats suitable for streaming and podcasting. Once transcoded the videos can then be embedded in a user's website, or viewed using unique URL." Log in to http://media.heanet.ie/ with your IT Carlow credentials YouTube: Public or unlisted Unlisted: only people who know the link to the video can view it. An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube's public spaces (such as search results, your channel, or the Browse page). Hosted by Screencast-o-matic/Jing/… Also Vimeo. Google Drive? OneDrive? ??
- 21. Tip Use a image at beginning
- 22. Track students use of video EDPuzzle (free): add questions to a YouTube video, crop the length, add audio comments, track individual student’s progress, give feedback – example (without login) Overview video (3mins)
- 23. Getting students to watch pre-class videos TLC Staff Hub > Blackboard Support > Assessments
