Screencasting, the recording of computer screen video with voiceover, is
both the simplest and most powerful instructional multimedia technique
in use today. Though one can learn to screencast in a matter of minutes,
the instructional potential of screencasting is never exhausted. Indeed,
screencasting is the core technology of the “Flipped” classroom and is
incredibly valuable for creating content for online classes. We’ll look at the
pedagogy of screencasting and several free or inexpensive tools that are
quick to learn and easy to use.
Lecture Capture

One of THE most popular instructional technology services provided to
students across the globe is lecture capture, the recording of audio and
video during a live classroom lecture and making the recording available
to students via the web, on-demand in a timely manner. Upwards of
90% of students have favorable opinions about this service and speak
highly of efforts to make such recordings available to them. While many
instructors have dark suspicions about students just wanting to be able to
cut class without consequences, numerous studies here and in the UK
suggest that providing lecture recording has little or no impact on
classroom attendance. In this seminar, we’ll look at two tools that are
free (to SDCCD faculty at least) and can be used in any classroom
equipped with a computer and projector.
Zoom in the Classroom
Facilitator: Dave Giberson

Even in fully online courses, a bit of synchronous interaction with your
students can be a wonderful thing. It enhances student engagement and
gives your students the chance to get to know you and ask questions in
real time. By far the best tool we have available for this now is Zoom.us.
Join us for an overview of Zoom and information on acquiring a free Zoom
account for unlimited use. We love Zoom and find the experience to be
almost as good as being in the classroom. Indeed, Zoom can extend the
walls of your classroom to infinity!
Instructional Online Video Production

Online, on-demand video is a very powerful instructional tool. It’s
especially useful in inverted instruction (class flipping) and in online
instruction. It can greatly enhance the sense of instructor presence in an
online course and promote student engagement in any delivery method.
Advances in technology and technique have made production of online
video far easier and cheaper that anyone ever imagined. Join us for a
discussion of the use and value of online video and demonstrations of
inexpensive and easy production methods.
Sharing Content With Padlet
Facilitator: Dave Giberson

Padlet is a simple, powerful bulletin wall application that makes online
sharing of all sorts of content easy, quick, and fun. Imagine a cork board
that extends forever and reaches everywhere. It’s absolutely the quickest
and easiest way I know to share text, documents, images and audio and
video links. What’s more, it’s totally free! Join us online to learn how to
create your own Padlets and embed them into Blackboard.
Captioning Web Video

As powerful as online video and multimedia can be, they cannot be used
in California unless they are accessible to ALL of our students. It is our legal
and moral obligation to see that even our students with sensory challenges
can benefit from these wonderful resources. One of the most critical steps
in ensuring the accessibility of rich media is the captioning thereof. In this
seminar we’ll look at the easiest and cheapest ways to accomplish this
goal.
