Videos for Higher Ed

The use of video is reinventing education. There is just something about seeing how something works that enables us to form a lasting memory of the information. As such, video is an excellent way to engage students in lessons as well as increase their retention of the subject.

This blog is a place for faculty to discuss video capture tools and make comments/recommendations for using video in instruction. As you contribute your views, please mention the tool you are using in your post's title.

Love Jing

This is a fabulous tool - the perfect way to give students a "walking tour" of key points they need to know in Angel or to capture anything online or on your screen and share as a video or a still image. I used it to create an introduction to Angel to help orient students to what to expect in the class and where to look to find it in Angel. One key is to use the cross hairs tool to carefully delineate exactly what you want to share. I watched the tutorials and that was sufficient to get going. This is exactly the tool that I have been looking for, it can also facilitate an online webinar or just make it easier to share with anybody and to avoid saying the same thing over and over.
Here's the link I did, it's a short version of what I plan to do in more detail: http://www.screencast.com/t/81e9U4gTj
