Screencast and Share Your Favorite E-Learning Challenge Examples #276

Screencast Your E-Learning Portfolios #276: Challenge | Recap

A few years ago, Mashable posted this really great article about freelancers parlaying their screencasts into a marketing tool. 

While many of you have figured out the blogging and social media angles, screencasting is a skill a lot of course designers aren't quite comfortable with yet. But looking at screencasting sites like LinkedIn Learning and Khan Academy, you know this is becoming an essential skill for everyone in our industry.

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to screencast an e-learning project or challenge demo you designed.

You can record a how-to tutorial to demonstrate a technical process or screencast a more general overview of an existing project you’ve built. The goal is for you to help the e-learning community know more about you and the projects you build.

Suggested Topics

Whether you’re just getting started in e-learning or you’ve been developing for years, you have something valuable to share. Here are a few topic ideas to get you started:

• How I built this interaction

• Lessons learned from building my first course

• Production tips

• Here are my three favorite projects
