Screen Cast Systems in PHP

Abstract:

There are a variety of factors that affect learning and teaching in educational contexts. Among these factors, teachers play an important role in student learning. Teachers not only deliver materials to learners but also guide learners in their learning experiences. While doing this, teachers allow learners to notice the progress they have been making and motivate them to further improve their skills. Teachers also benefit from the tools technology provides to them, such as screen casting. A screen cast is a digital recording of the computer screen output, including audio narration, which was first implemented in order to show learners how to use computer software through demonstrations. Since then, it has also been used in educational contexts e.g. to deliver lectures and to provide feedback. !is chapter aims to review the utilisation of screen casting in educational contexts and issues which can potentially emerge in the course of it. With this aim in mind, a brief discussion of screen casting is provided, followed by a review of studies within two streams of research which focus on the use of screen casting for delivering lectures and giving feedback. On the basis of the findings presented, several implications and suggestions have been proposed.
