Screen Capture and Record Showcase

The video below is meant as a basic tour of the gradebook in Elearning for new TAs or TAs who need a review. It's intent is to supplement an larger Elearning course meant to facilitate TA's as a reference and guide for how to grade a course, the different tools they have access to, and when to seek outside help. The video takes TAs through the basic layout of the gradebook, and toggles between the two crucial screens in gradebook management. It mentions some of the symbols used in Elearning to make grading more convenient, and refers TAs to the screenshot embedded on this page.


The screenshot below was developed with the intent to supplement the above demo tour through the gradebook in Elearning. It illustrates symbols that are referenced in the demo and details further how they can be of use to the TA grading tasks.



Assignment:

 For your Screencast video:

  1. Come up with a fairly basic (I’ll let you judge) computer-based task that you would want to demonstrate as part of a lesson for your students.
  2. Using Capture, create a 1 – 3 minute demo/tutorial. You must use a microphone to add narration that helps explain what you are teaching.
  3. When you complete your video, follow the directions in the Capture Help Center to embed your video in a blog posting on your blog (so the video screen is visible). If you have trouble with embedding, use the question forum I create and we'll all support each other.
  4. In this same posting, provide a short written description on the purpose of your screencast (video) and how it would fit into or complement some larger lesson or goal for your students/target audience.

For your Screenshot:

  1.     Think of some situation using a tool on your computer where you might want to point out to someone some feature or interesting thing that could be communicated in a single image.
  2.      Use the Capture an Image feature in Capture to create a screenshot
  3.      Use the annotation tools (arrow, highlight, text tool) to make it clear what you are pointing out to the end user
  4.      Save this image to your computer and upload it in a new blog post
  5.      Similar to above, include a short explanation about the purpose of this image you created.

In Hypothetical Session: Developing a Climate Friendly Idn

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1GahSOk21o6RwwM0aAm0b_LSUlscXTjCrydiD7D_AJiQ/edit?usp=sharing  The course I am hypothetically developing is on Developing a Climate Friendly Identity. I prefer a mixture of both synchronous and asynchronous instruction. I think that both are necessary for a quality educational experiences. I also think, based on our readings, there is room to parse what is meant by sync/async a bit further. Because in our   Theory and Practice   textbook the distinction is based on time and place vs time and pace, whereas in the   Sync/Async Balancing Act   article (2007) the simpler definition that I am more familiar with seems to be the accepted term. The major difference being a course in which the teacher is engaged and running things vs the students are entirely in charge of the experience and there is no set time frame (not even a term/semester/school year). A course that you would sign up for through one of the learning platforms we ...

Articulate a Microcourse for Something (I chose Teams)

via GIPHY   Welcome to Teams - a tiny primer Late Impressions: Using Articulate was something of an eye-opener to me. I have used a course builder software that developed from an open source product into one that is now profit based, and it is far clunkier than Articulate. I have also seen other people online who have created courses and felt wowed by their ability to design such stream-lined and visually pleasing experiences. Seeing that a lot of what I considered WOW factors are now WYSWG type building experiences in this product takes a lot of mystique out of how people are able to do that and the skills it actually takes, versus the ones I was making assumptions it took. With that, I felt a loss of personability within Articulate. It felt like I was being inducted into the Adobe brand over promoting the content I was creating my course for (admittedly still a large brand, lol). It was not hard to pattern a course after one of the templates, or to fall into the writing tone pro...
