Why screencast
The term screencast was coined by columnist Jon Udell in 2005. Udell published an article in InfoWorld
and described a technique of using screen capture technology to record the steps involved in interacting with a webpage. According to Udell, a screencast is a way of recording what is happening on a computer screen and sharing that recording with others. Producers of screencasts can integrate
other videos, pictures, voice-overs, text and music to their creations.
Associate Professor of Educational Technology Michael F. Ruffini, recently asserted in Educause that, “Screencasting is a multimedia alternative to video recording, is easy to use, and helps fill a need for
dynamic, engaging content.” Screencasting can be used to teach, train, explain websites, flip classrooms, tell stories, or blog.
Screencasting leverages the power of your desktop, laptop, or Apple device and uses software to create a mini-movie studio. Screencasting allows communicators to share their thoughts about subjects with a possibly world-wide audience any time, any place.
