Description: A screencast is a video recording of whatever appears on your computer screen while you narrate it. Screencasts are an effective way to deliver certain kinds of content.This session will first cover best practices for screencasts, such as their optimal length, how much time to invest in editing, whether a script is necessary, and so on. The presenters will then demonstrate how to use the various features in Camtasia to create, edit, and produce a screencast. Participants will then be given time edit and produce a screencast with Camtasia under the guidance of the presenters. No prior knowledge of Camtasia or screencasts is required.
Learning Outcomes. After the session, participants will be able to:
- summarize best practices regarding the creation of screencasts
- use Camtasia to record, edit, and produce a screencast
Facilitators: Mark Morton and Alan Kirker
Note: This session will take place in the IST Training Room: MC 2060. Additionally, note that the workshop offered on Tuesday morning, entitled "Course Design for the Flipped Classroom," is a natural complement to this workshop: the Flipped Classroom workshop focuses on pedagogy, while the Camtasia workshop focuses on one of the tools that can help you flip your classroom.
