How to create a screencast
- Choose a screencast topic - something short and simple. Adding a new cataloging record, creating a relationship, editing an authority term, etc.
- Write down a quick script for your screencast - what steps will you take, what data will you enter, what records will you visit?
- Choose a screencast application. Jing, Screencast-o-Matic, and CamStudio are all free and fairly simple to use.
- Run through your script a few times. Move the mouse a little slower than you would normally (change the settings if you have to!), and hover over buttons for a second before clicking on them. Try to keep your screencast to no more than 3-4 minutes. For larger topics, break it up into a series.
- When you're comfortable with your content, record!
- Save your file - Confluence will accept formats. Follow the directions below to add your content to this page.
