Video Marking

I really like this idea gleaned through Stephen Downes “OLDaily”

Video Marking – a teacher describes how he uses screen recording software to record himself marking this students work and then students can use his video response as feedback.

What a great way to give constructive & specific feedback to a student. They can literally ‘sit alongside’ their teacher (not in real time) as they mark their work, see and hear their discussion, comments & recommendations. Of course their work has to be submitted digitally for this to work effectively. The article mentions that the teacher is using Camtasia to record their feedback but Jing which is free would work just as well.

Another great strategy for our eteachers.

The research about screen recording suggests that screen recordings increase teaching presence and thus improve students' learning experiences.
- For teachers, they can perform demos in an online learning environment; the tutorials can be edited with multiple interactive elements before delivery, the demos support reuse...
- For students, the presentations created by screen recorder is clearer and more engaging than written instructions or static screen shots; the demos can be played as many times as needed; the tutorial videos is for "anytime/anywhere" learning...

Besides Camtasia, DemoCreator is an alternative to make interactive software tutorials.
