screenr (online screencasting application)
Today I tested screenr (Articulate’s free online screencasting application linked to Twitter): http://screenr.com/
It’s easy to use, just click on Record and follow brief instructions. No software is needed to install. There’s a five minute limit, no editing options.
You need to have a Twitter account and when you produce the screencast it will automatically tweet about it (you can opt not to do this).
The screencast is produced in HD, this takes a little time (seemed like a minute or so for my minute-long screencast) – the resulting screencast is crystal clear.
Resulting screencast is given unique URL at screenr.com (can be linked to or embedded), can be downloaded as MP4, uploaded to YouTube or deleted.
Publishing to YouTube is simple – just enter your YouTube name and password to upload, then go to YouTube account to get URL.
My example: http://screenr.com/4Vs
When uploaded to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIL9srwhbqw
One disadvantage is the screencasts you produce are public – however it seems you could opt not to tweet, download the MP4 file and then delete the screencast from screenr.com.
Came across it from: http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/how-to-use-this-free-screencasting-tool-for-e-learning/

Podcasting for eLearning (a Prezi presentation)
I have created a Prezi presentation for the pedagogical section of Trinity College Dublin’s Podcasting workshop. Most of the material has been taken from “Doubling the life of iPods” chapter of “Podcasting for learning in universities” which is edited by Gilly Salmon and Palitha Edirisingha.
Here is the link for the presentation – http://prezi.com/35214/
If you want to edit and use this presentation for your own workshop just email me and I will give you permission to do so.
Special thanks to Paul Gormley, Michelle Tooher and Damien Rafferty.
