Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a set of useful suggestions to faculty who are interested in screencasting as a tool to support their blended learning lessons. Although these best practices were derived from a research with undergraduate health students, they also reflect the literatures review of other areas, so they are valid for other contexts besides the health area. A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, including mouse movements and audio narration. Thus, screencasts are very well suited to complement traditional face-to-face classes, both expositive and demonstrative, even if they are not related with software application demonstrations or computer related tasks. To guide a professor in the process of making and distributing screencasts to his/her students, this paper lists and thoroughly explains all the necessary steps. |
