Engaging multimedia content is a powerful way to connect with students and increase class participation. During this session, participants learn about higher education’s best practices in podcasting and screencasting. Participants gain hands-on experience setting up RSS and streaming feeds for delivering recordings to computers or portable MP3 players such as the iPod. Participants also have the opportunity to create a screencast and podcast recording using Camtasia Studio.

Teaching math and science online can be problematic. How do you correct students’ learning online when they have problems with complicated materials and get them on the right track? One method is to use screen-capture videos in a quasisynchronous learning environment. The presenters introduce the software used, demonstrate how to develop teaching videos, and explain how they overcame technical and teaching issues. Lab participants create a video using the software and following a step-by-step process.
