The other day in EdTech, we played around screen capture and voice recording. These days, I think most students are familiar with the idea of screen-capture videos. From my own time in first year calculus and physics, I can say that I spent many nights watching Khan Academy videos in order to better understand tricky concepts. So, I wanted to see if I’d be able to make something similar!
Note: This video isn’t meant to truly explain any concepts, it’s just me playing around. Also, the bottom got a bit cut off.
I think it turned out fairly well for my first time, although the video did end up being a bit more cropped than I would have liked. I think that tools like OBS and other screen recording software are especially useful for subjects like math and physics that are easy to fall behind in if you miss a single step. With a video, students are free to pause and rewind at their own pace. OBS Studio can also be used to live stream screen capture, but I haven’t played around with that yet. Below, I’ve included a link to OBS Studio (which is free and open source!) as well as a Khan Academy video.
