Screencasting
Mobile Learning Symposium - 28th September 2011 Jim Scivyer AAE MIMI 13

14. Mobile Learning - What is a screencast?
• A screencast is a digital recording of computer
screen output, also known as a video screen
capture, often containing audio narration
• Audio
– Provide a voice-over to a PowerPoint presentation
– Provide interviews with experts
• Reflective questions
– Create question screens, ask questions using voice over and get the student to
pause the screen and reflect on their own answers before revealing the answer
• Videos
– Use the correct dimensions when you are recording and editing your video, so you
fill the space properly and know what area you are working with.

15. Mobile Learning - Final thoughts on developing screencasts
• Create a manageable learning module, not too long, not too
short.
• Audio quality is really important.
• Keeping it small = faster download speed.
• When viewing podcasts, vodcasts, screencasts, apps, etc on
the Web, ask yourself:
– Did you enjoy it? Or did it lose your attention?
• How was this achieved?
• How could you improve it?
