- 5. What?
- 6. A screencast is a digital video and audio recording of what occurs on a presenter's computer screen
- 7. Why?
- 9. Daniel Goleman “Memory is attention in the past tense: what you remember now, is what you noticed before.”
- 10. Adoptedfrom:RichardE.Mayer Theory of Multimedia Learning
- 11. “The multimedia language of the screen has become the current vernacular." Elizabeth Daley “Expanding the Concept of Literacy” (Educause, 2003)
- 12. Richard E. Mayer “Animated presentations provide a more effective learning experience.”
- 14. Screencasts can be used to: Demonstrate • concepts • mathematical equations • computer software Review Draw Present • parts of a face to face lecture • provided feedback on assignments - formative assessment • concept maps • diagrams • timelines • processes • your PPTS so students • access them anytime, anywhere
- 15. Screencast can be integrated across the curriculum.
- 16. “Flipped Classroom” Approach Before Class During Class
- 18. Examples

- 21. • Managingessentialprocessing • Reducingextraneousprocessing • Socialcues PRINCIPLES FOR THE DESIGN OF MULTIMEDIA Adoptedfrom:RichardE.Mayer
- 22. Managing Essential Processing: Segmentation Pre-training Modality • keep your screen casts short max 5 minutes • introduce one concept at a time - chunk it • when explaining a process ensure students are familiar with key terminology and concepts • importance of voice as the visual channel can become overloaded when seeing movement on a screen TIPS
- 23. Coherence Redundancy Signaling • focus on the main point • do not enhance your presentation with unnecessary elements • if you said it and showed it on screen there is no need to spelled it out as well • use intonation to highlight new sections/concepts • outline steps by using auditory cues like first, second TIPS Reducing Extraneous Processing: Spacial Continuity • synchronize your narration to the actions you are presenting on the screen
- 24. Social Cues: Personalization Voice Image • record your screencast as if you were speaking to one other person • use of second person • add encouraging phrases “congratulations” • consider your audience background • consider if you need to be on the screen the whole time • if explaining a complex process or drawing on the screen remove your image TIPS

Editor's Notes
- This is a introductory workshop which will allow you to think about screen casting as a mode of instruction and how it can fit into your curriculum. You will walk away with the tools to plan and storyboard your screencast and together with the practical workshop on how to actually make a screen cast these tow workshop will allow you to make an effective and hopefully engaging presentation for your class.
- Segmentation: info presented in learner-paced segments Pre-Training: Students learn better when they are familiar with basic concepts Modality: Students learn better from animation and narration than animation and on-screen text Can help you communicate with more clarity and impact than you can with written words alone, especially with a fully online class modality- common sense if you write it and say it its double reinforced is false as visual channel becomes overloaded
- Coherence: when extraneous words, sounds are excluded Redundancy: when animation and narration than animation, narration and on-screen text Signaling: when multimedia explanations are signaled Spacial Continuity: when animation and narration are presented simultaneously
- Personalization: when words are presented in a conversational style Voice : when words are spoken in a standard human voice not machine or accents (you would probably learn better if I did not have an Australian accent) Image: adding a talking face is not necessarily better
- Take into account the type of class you are delivering: flipped, online, hybrid
- “A storyboard for video production is essentially a large comic of the film or some section of the film produced beforehand to help directors, and television commercial advertising clients visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. .”
- tells a story with scenes,
- the level of detail you need to put into a story boarding process will vary with the type of screen cat you are preparing particularly a screen cast that is a demo of a software there are many benefits to story boarding
- use natural casual language keeping in mind all the principles of multimedia design be concise, write in short straight forward sentences build in speech intonations and emphasis keep inn ind when you sit down to actually record your screencast you will end up tweaking it and most likely will not stay 100% with what you have written - this is good as you want to maintain a conversational style to your screencast and not sound scripted keep in mind that your desktop will be recorded in the screencast so you want to deciliter it and remove anything that is distracting
- embed the feedback form directly below the screencast so student can chunk their resonse and stop and start the video
