9. WHY USE INSTRUCTOR SCREENCASTING?
In classroom mode:
Student-directed learning
In flipped/mixed mode:
Content is covered outside of class time
Connection to instructor
The solution is to screencast!!

11. INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPED SCREENCASTS:
CONS
Time required to
produce
Teaching style the
same (videos are
copies of lessons)
Passive (not active)
learning
PROS
Students choose
when/where/how
often learning occurs
Capitalize on „out of
class time‟ learning
Provides review for
exams/tests/quizzes
BIG IDEA - STUDENT DEVELOPED MATHCASTS!!
12. CONNECTING COLLEGE TO CAREER (C^3):
Project Goal:
To develop a categorized library of mathematics
and application videos (AODA compliant)
produced by and for students
“This initiative has received funding through the Seneca
Pillar Sponsorship program and the generous support of
Johnson Insurance Inc.”
