ABSTRACT

Screencasts are video tutorials that capture the activity on a computer screen accompanied by a voice-over or concurrent audio commentary. They can be watched on a PC or any mobile device with video playback capabilities. Screencasts have been identified as a very useful tool in enhancing students’ learning of skills-based subjects, particularly Maths as they allow the recording of handwritten step-by-step solutions of problems including specialist mathematical notation (Jordan, Loch, Lowe, Mestel, & Wilkins, 2012).
