![]() ![]() How can I help students to use my screencasts effectively?.Prepare for an ‘informal’, natural presentation style, as if you were speaking in a lecture – instead of writing a script, your screencast may ‘flow’ naturally if you simply regroup existing presentation slides and write a list / flowchart to keep on track when speaking.You should not be looking to convert a 2 hour lecture into 2 hours’ worth of screencasts! Shorter videos help students to engage and give greater flexibility to manage viewing. You could use natural breaks in the topic or key headings to plan short video segments (15 minutes is considered long).Refer to these as ‘activities’ within the recordings, for maximum flexibility (you might find it easier/quicker to design activities after recording screencasts, but some prefer to use activity planning to inform the recording content/structure). ![]() To get started, aim to break down content into individual headings or topics, then create short videos that focus on these topics, with activities that ask students to reflect and unpack the content via questions and tasks.There may be existing video content or reading you can direct students towards and plan activities around, rather than planning a new recording (for example, BoB, Linkedin Learning and Talis Reading List). ![]()
