1. Screencasting © Dr. Frances Boylan DIT March ‘18
A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, often containing audio narration.
Before we get into the ins and outs of screencasting, let’s first just contextualise it as an activity. Screencasting can of course be used to create a bank of resources for your students to turn to whenever they need to, but it’s also a very valuable tool if you start to flip your classroom.

5. Flipped Classroom Approach
Pedagogical approach
Direct instruction moves from group learning space to individual learning space
Resulting group space is transformed into an interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter
We’ll talk in a later session today about technologies that can be used to help students apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter
There are lots of different, interesting ways to flip a class. One popular, entry-level approach to flipped teaching is to deliver direct instruction (i.e. lectures) outside of class, using pre-recorded videos and screencasts covering content. Instructors then spend class time on activities that students would normally do at home, such as homework problems.
There is more than one way to flip a class and putting videos online and doing homework in class is one of the most basic of those ways. Team based learning and problem based learning are all ways of flipping the classroom.
