Resource Pages :: Screencasting & Online Tutorials

 

Screencasts are recordings of actions taking place on a computer screen. Software like Wink, Camtasia and Captivate let you record mouse movement, windows opening and closing, menus being opened, forms being filled in and so on, basically anything that happens on the screen. The recordings can be edited to delete sections and to add arrows, text and other graphics. Audio can be added to further explain what's happening on the screen.  The final product is a video that users can view on a web page or download to their computer.

 

This page lists examples of library tutorials on a variety of subjects - catalogs, databases, internet searching and more. Many were created with screencasting software, others with presentation tools like PowerPoint, and some use Flash and other graphics tools that require more technical and graphics expertise. All provide interesting ideas for creating your own online tutorials.
