A screencast is a digital video recording of your computer screen and usually includes audio narration. Not unlike a screenshot , screencasts can be called a screen capture video or screen recording and is a great way to teach or share ideas. Think of your apps, websites, IMs, emails, and everything that makes up your digital world.

In the context of e-Learning (back then it was just plain old CBT), this meant you had audio/video on the screen with timed text bullets. The learner could listen to the audio if her preferred style was auditory, OR read the text if her preferred style was visual. Im with you. I always tune out the audio and read ahead.

Im guessing youre designing online distance learning courses. Im in the weird place of for-profit education, which really has characteristics of both market sectors.
