Benefits of Using Screencasts
Publications on the use of screencasts in courses at the University of Colorado Boulder:
Student feedback in courses using screencasts has been positive, with the majority of students finding them useful or very useful. In one student-survey (Fluid Mechanics course), over half of the students claimed to have watched over half of the Fluid Mechanics screencasts.
With screencasts, instructors can reach a larger percentage of their student pool than office hours alone, and supplement coursework with advanced content/review material that may not be efficiently covered in the limited time available in class.
Screencasts allow instructors to cater to students' different learning styles by providing them alternative resources to textbooks and lectures, as well as valuable review materials. Furthermore, the ability to stop, rewind, and re-watch the videos allows students to learn at their own pace.
The following resources can help instructors develop these relatively easy-to-create, high-impact educational tools. We usually use tablet PCs with OneNote for writing out problems and Camtasia (which records the computer screen) for audio-video editing.
