Promotional video - can come in many forms, such as video, cartoon or screencast. Screencast - a recording of your computer screen output often containing audio narration and/or subtitles. Examples: • How to use a photocopier • How to borrow a book • Screencast on using the library catalogue Examples: • Tour of the library • Promotional video • Footage of events Examples: • Show how to use particular software • Performing tricky tasks/processes
- 16. Why are theyuseful for libraries? • Students learn in different ways so it is a good idea to have content in a variety of formats. • Millennials tend to adopt a digital first approach. • Think about how people view recipes, more and more people turn to Tasty and YouTube • As distance learning courses grow library guidance needs to be available electronically/mobile. elogicLEARNIN G elogicLEARNIN G
