Week 6 Tutorial 27/02/15 - Screen Casting

For week 6 we had an ELab for our tutorial. This tutorial was based on a topic we discussed in the lecture this week of Screen-Casting. Screen-casting enables you to capture information on your computer screen and combine this material with audio to create a video.  For instance, you might use screencasting to provide how-to instructions to complete a given task. The website we had to use for this exercise was "http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/".

1) The first part of the exercise directed us to watch the demo videos of how to navigate around the site and explanation of the  features on the site. 






2) The rest of the exercise asked us to individually record our own screen-cast video. I set the settings to record the screen not through my webcam, Also to record through my laptop microphone. Here is a  few screen grabs of my recorded video. I made a simple video of myself editing a word document. 

I found the whole website and tool easy to use and the demo videos very helpful. As a group we decided to try and incorporate screen-casting into our project as we feel it will enhance the quality of our presentation as well as add more interactive visual representation.
