Screencasting makes it easy to reduce repetitive emails; put your voice in your Blackboard course; pinpoint problems and develop quick videos to address them; reach students by showing them what you mean.
Screencasting is a movie of what you see on your screen. If a student or colleague asks how to do something, you can record your steps and save them. Share the movie with that person and and save the movie to share with others with similar questions - even in your Blackboard course.
DoIT offers access to Camtasia Relay services to record, upload it to iTunes U, and link it in Blackboard. The true strength of this service is the ability to show a person exactly what you mean. Once you’ve made a video to explain the steps you can share it by a link, as an attachment to an email, or via embedding the video.
