I’m becoming an advocate for the use of screencasting at TRU. I think the technology is underutilized in our courses on campus and in the Open Learning department, of which I’m an instructional designer. So, this page is going to be dedicated to the teaching and learning effectiveness of screencasting. I’ll be researching scholarly information as well as practical information from the classroom.
You can also look for a screencasting session to be provided at the Teaching Practices Colloquium on February 16. I’ve enlisted the support of a number of faculty who been using screencasts in their courses to discuss how this technology has sparked their students. It’s going to be an informative and hopefully inspiring session, that will fire up others at TRU to give screencasting a try!
If you have anything that you’d like to share about your experience, you’re more than welcome to share it here too.
