Screen recording

Student's benefit:

  • The students are able to learn from remote time- and location-independent
  • Screencasts allow students to move at their own pace since they can pause content anytime and anywhere
  • Screencasts are excellent for those learners who need both an oral as well as a visual explanation of the content presented


Teaching enrichment:

  • In classrooms, lecturers and students can use this tool to create videos to explain content
  • Video can make class time more productive for both teachers and students
  • Screencast may increases students engagement and achievement
  • Screencast provides more time in which students can work collaboratively in groups and helps them to think through cooperative learning

The resulted instructional material can be uploaded on SWITCHtube or even embedded in a Learning Management System such as Open edX or  OLAT.

Teaching and learning methods:

  • Flipped Classroom (didactic lectures are moved online using a desktop recording and the class time spent on student centred learning activities)
  • Video tutorials for the lecture
  • Introduction to a course
  • Mini lecture on a specific topic
  • Alternative to lecture recordings when your teaching space is not fitted with equipment to record lectures
  • Students record video and audio as they demonstrate a procedure

A Screen Recording is a digital recording of a computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. 

Lecturers may choose to record complete courses and make them available to all the attendees for future reference or depending on the teaching scenario even lecture replacement.

This strategy of recording courses is already widely used. Computer-related courses need high quality and easily readable recordings of screen contents.
