Week 5: Screencasting

Activity: Develop Your Own Storyboard and Video

​

This module extended your knowledge of digital video tools for instruction by including screencasts and animations.  Identify an instructional need, such as introducing new content via screencast presentation, creating a course introduction via animation, or screencast discussion and assignment overview, create your storyboard, develop your screencast or animation, then publish to YouTube.  Post publication you must include edited Closed Captioning.  Your assignment submission must address the following critical elements:

​

  1. Description of learning/instructional goal

  2. Minimum 5 scenes in your storyboard outlining your screencast or animation-based instructional video

  3. Create and publish your instructional video, 2-4 minutes, with listed license, either copyright your work or apply a Creative Commons license of your choice (publish on YouTube.  You do not need to make your video public to the world, you can select the setting to be visible only to those with the link.)

  4. Edited Closed Captioning.  (YouTube auto-generated closed captioning is not sufficient, you must edit the file for accuracy in terms of matching words spoken to those on screen, grammar and punctuation.  As discussed in this week module, the auto-generated file does not meet accessibility requirements).

 

Remember the best practices of storyboarding to help organize this week’s activity.  You can also go back and review the videos from the module for additional suggestions on creating a storyboard.

​

Post the assignment to the forum using the “Add a Post” option.  If you can copy and paste into the forum please do so. You can also consider alternative document posting via Google document or other resolutions you may have used to post assignment documents.
