A screencast is a digital video recording of your computer screen and usually includes audio narration. Think of your apps, websites, IMs, emails, and everything that makes up your digital world. Give students audio-visual feedback (the next best thing to a 1:1 conversation). This will allow you to easily edit video and audio.

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.
