The Classroom Support Services team who introduced the first automated podcasting system at UW in Fall 2005 (David Aldrich, Bradley Bell and Tim Batzel), demonstrated their latest offering of an automated video screen capture system at the Pack Forest Conference Center today. The system replicates the automated model of our audio podcasting system, and delivers flash video, screen capture of presentation materials and audio to students via our Classroom Portal. Students can view lectures using operating-system agnostic flash media-player software and they can skip ahead in each lecture with pre-made Bookmarks.
In October 2005, Classroom Support Services started an on-demand video pilot. 17 classes have participated in the on-demand video pilot between October 2005 and March 2007, resulting in 47,684 downloads. The IT Group surveyed students at the end of Winter Quarter (2007) and based on this feedback, further developed their on-demand video technology to create an automated ScreenCasting system that combines high resolution video screen captures, traditional video recordings and spoken narration. The result is an end-product that conveys complex information and concepts easily and quickly.
If you are interested in seeing a sample of a screencast, UW Oceanography Professor Richard Strickland's Sloan-C Conference Presentation on podcasting is available on-line.
