I'd like to share this information from JISC Digital Media:

Next week sees the launch of JISC Digital Media's 2011 online surgeries.

The recent growth in educational content being delivered via computer screen - be it PowerPoint presentations, web pages and services, software demonstrations and training, or digital media – has afforded a greater importance to the ability to capture what you are doing on your computer and package this screen capture as an effective and accessible learning resource – screencasting.

To reflect this over the next few weeks JISC Digital Media's online surgeries will focus on screencasting:

• 19/01/11              The major technical issues surrounding screencasting
• 26/01/11              Considerations for screencasts as teaching and learning support resources
• 02/02/11              Using a screencast as a lecture capture tool
• 09/02/12              Using a screencast to provide feedback
