Why Jing online? Multiple opportunities for the learner to watch/listen to an online demonstration Add a teacher’s voice to a demo Allows a teacher to respond to a student assignment with visual & audio Flexibility-those who were absent for the classroom lesson can watch/listen to the online demo to catch up. Also caters for late enrolments Provides opportunity for repetition and revision As part of blended delivery, demos and quizzes allow student to progress at own pace through an integrated unit Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne Australia

Jing- Dos & Don’ts Always check the microphone Start/ Setting/ Control Panel / Sound & Audio. Do the microphone test Don’t have additional programs open- it gets distracting and slows the upload Rehearse-it might take a few times to get it right- Write a few notes-key words related to your main message or instruction Don’t swirl the mouse around as you talk. I have to work hard not to talk with my hands as this is very distracting for the learners.

Jing- Dos & Don’ts Jing records the action on the screen, not the sound, or music in a powerpoint- Jing only gets sound through the mic Uploading to Screencast means that you have a remote library of your Jing movies You do need internet No reliable internet? Save the swf files on your intranet and run them locally as a demo using Jing History. ( on the Sun)
