Editor's Notes
- #2 In addition to pulling upPowerpoint, following need to be accessible:Screenr website http://www.screenr.com Screencast O Matic website http://screencast-o-matic.com/ Jing softwareYoutube siteScreencast.com siteGreg Notess site.. http://www.notess.com/screencasting/software/
- #3 Sign-in sheetFolders, information packetsContact information
- #4 Ask participants level of experience, what software has been used, etc. What were experiences?In this class, you will be able to learn about what screencast are, some uses, and take some time to develop or start developing you own—you’ll have the tools at least to create some very useful, funcitonal screencasts…specifically, the class objectives are:
- #6 Show screencast example right away…something meaningful to me as a personal example along with overview explanation….one of favorite examples..been viewed on Youtube 11 million + times since 2008, so many of you may have seen it, but it’s still relevant and uses screencasting to not only communicate a difficult concept (web 2.0 and the impact it has on humans relationship to information and to each other) but it demonstrates using screencasts to record and share many different web 2.0 concepts—in itself examples of how this technology may be valuable
- #7 Who has used screencasts before? What software was used? What was the content—how was the presentation used?Benefits: Most software—easy, low/no cost to create web accessible online tutorials, accessible 24/7Creates opportunities to teach by example—often things that are difficult to explain and are better understood/easier to communicate w/demonstration Screencasts allow viewers to go at own pace of materials, pause, repeat as neededApplications include:“Let me show you how” instructionFollow-up step-by-step reference interview/demonstration—follow-up or remoteEspecially helpful for FAQs, knowledge that needs to be reiterated and repeated frequently Narrated slide-show, presentationDistance learning/teachingTele-commuting Requirements: Computer, Browser, Internet Connection, Java?—Recording Device, speakersOnline accounts, software download, software purchase (depending on the software you choose to use)
- #9 Process:Plan what you’ll be showing/demonstrating Record screen actions and describe the action verbally If option available, edit, enhance, etc.)Publish (Online hosting site such as screencast.com, youtube..or host/publish on a private website)Once ‘published’…share
- #10 For this class, we will focus on the more involved, with using voice narration
- #11 Using a script allows for consistent rehearsal, and to focus not only on content, but on tone
- #12 640x 480 reccomended size…take advantage of some advanced options, if available to specify output on web, CD, mobile site
- #13 Variety of microphones…stand alone as well as built in…also head sets available, which may be preferred for longer screenscasts providing more consistency as distance of mic to mouth remains same
- #15 Screenr is the most or one of the more free, quick, easy, to frills, ready to go options…no downloading required…just sign-in, and press record…very easyDiscuss overview of software, walk through steps---show how it works—just do itSign in with Google account…point out also able to sign in with other accounts (don’t necessarily need to sign in to create, but you need to sign in to save, share, publish etc.) Discuss hardware being used..computer, software, mic, cameraPull up logged in account, go through steps—design, record, edit/delete, publishI’ve received a request from a Physicians assistant who would like to do their own search in pubmed, but would like to get a quick tutorial on how a search is doneGreat, I say. When could you be available? Not for a few days—I’m in rotations, seeing patients, can’t get away. No, problem I say. How about I put together a quick screencast tutorial that walks you through the steps and send you a web link to watch?Perfect, he says.What’s the topic?Ok, let’s do a search, but capture it with Screenr so we can email them the link, so they’ll have a basic understanding of how a pubmed search is done. Let’s do it. Great to use to supplement a reference interview.record the reference interview, email the patron afterwardSmall window..use appropriate size..bigger window, more file neededDetect correct microphoneClick red buttom…3..2..1.. Save, Published in Screenr—also can publish on You tube—and directly share to social networks via Twitter and FB Easy, by yourself, free, quick and published on same platform Great to use to supplement a reference interview.record the reference interview, email the patron afterwardNo editing option…but you can pauseHosted at Screener…able to publish to Twitter, FB, point to Url, embedded code for placing into other websites When doing full screen..need to press Alt-D to stop Need to consider audience in terms of what technology they’ll be using to view the file..afullsize screen may not be preferable, appropriate

- #25 It’s also important to remember that our audience may include individuals with any number of physical or cognitive disabilities…we want to be sure that we take a few steps to ensure that these individuals are able to participate, experience or use the information within our screencasts. Some guidelines to ensure an accessible screencast include:Camtasia offers features such as speech to text transcription, captioning import, creating searchable content, and creating content intended for specific devices such as iPadScreencast.com offers captioning in it’s Pro version (9.95/mo, 99.95/yr)Screen cast O Matic offers captioning in their standard and pro versions…more automatic while recording with pro version (12.00/yr)
- #27 Remember audience…who will be using this information, what devices will they be using to view content, what sorts of internet technologies are being used, what software do they have?Simplify…what can be cut out with out the message being kept in tact? Because just like writing an article, or an essay, or other written product, if the language is too verbose, the message will get lost and the point of the screen cast will be lost, so be sure to refine, simplify, condense where possible.
