Screencasting is simply recording your computer screen. It could be a software or game demo, a guide to a website or a how-to video. Screencasts commonly involve some sort of a voiceover, which can be added during the recording or later on in the editing or post-production process.
TIP: Try to avoid silences. Use any “downtime” (e.g. spinning hourglasses, slow webpage loading) to preview your next steps or recap what you have done so far.
Demonstration – record your computer screen and narrate the action (e.g. demonstrating a process in Excel):
Static content – film a slideshow and narrate various images, video or text that appears:
Animation – use moving images and narration to illustrate a process or concept (this can be as simple as using PowerPoint animation):
Plain Text – show a small amount of text or a single image on the screen with a black or white background to create an impact (must be narrated for AODA purposes):
