For the Web-based Learning Technology Repository (WBLTR), at the end of Module 4 and Module 8 you’ll be your compressing (aka: zipping) the site you are developing and submitting for grading via the dropbox in D2L. Both the Mac and Windows operating systems have the built-in capability to create compressed .zip files for submitting. Below I’ve provided short video tutorials illustrating the process for both Mac or Windows.
Here’s an example of a sample screencast I recorded providing a quick introduction to one of my favorite websites, Google Reader. Notice that the media you see below is not the actual embedded video (since I recorded nearly the entire width of the screen). Rather, I took a screen capture of the video to serve as the placeholder media and then make it a link to view the screencast. This is an effective approach if the screencast you wish to embed is to wide for your blog template.
I look forward to viewing your screencast that you create for your Module 3 ELT Activity!
Below are links to the Module 3 ELT postings by each class member, exploring screencasting:
