Screencasting and Recording

“A screen­cast is a nar­rat­ed video record­ing of your com­put­er screen. Unlike a video record­ing of a class­room lec­ture, in a screen­cast the per­son giv­ing the lec­ture is not the pri­ma­ry visu­al focus — rather, their pre­sen­ta­tion mate­r­i­al is the pri­ma­ry visu­al focus. A screen­cast can com­prise any­thing from still images (for exam­ple, slides con­tain­ing text or pho­tographs) to full motion (for exam­ple, the move­ment of your mouse cur­sor, draw­ing or writ­ing on slide, video clips from lab demon­stra­tions, and so on). Screen­casts can be enhanced with the inclu­sion of “call outs” (such as arrows or cir­cles that empha­size cer­tain parts of the screen image) or title cards (which are slides with text that intro­duce a new sec­tion of the screen­cast).” From Uni­ver­si­ty of Water­loo.
