Building Effective Screencasts
Full-day course: 10.00 - 16.30
Aim
Screencasting - publishing and sharing recordings of on-screen computer activity, coupled with other media (voice-over, video etc) - continues to increase in popularity. Whether you want to narrate a presentation, demonstrate the use of software, or record and share your screen for any other reason, a screencast may be the answer.
This practical one-day workshop provides an opportunity to learn how to maximise the value of screencasting in presentation, demonstration and digital storytelling for teaching and learning. Screencasts are flexible tools suitable for a range of learning scenarios and digital media types. They can provide a sophisticated learning experience, incorporating slides, images, video, audio, screen annotation, subtitles, interactive quizzes and more.
Audience
The workshop is designed for up to 10 people. Previous experience of screencasting is not necessary, just an interest in developing new skills and techniques for creating teaching and learning resources.

Covering the essentials of the screencast production workflow, workshop participants will learn
- Techniques to identify where screencast use is appropriate
- How to plan for production and use
- Screencast design
