Blog Description


This blog is aimed to be South West TAFE's first point of reference for e-learning help and computer based tutorials, how-to's and other information. The screencasts featured here are inspired by questions from the South West TAFE teaching staff and students.

I.T. Tips - Change your youtube resolution.


My second video here. It's still a bit sloppy, but its already feeling better and easier to record.
This screencast was inspired by some feedback that I received. This particular person had simply said that the "Back-up your course on TAFE VC" was blurry when made full screen and simply hadn't noticed the resolution button. So with this video I hope to correct that .
for any one else who would have the same query.

This video was done in one take, and with very little preparation beforehand. Roughly it took about 10mins to quickly write down what I wanted to cover and also record the screencast, which is a massive improvement on the 1-2 hours it took for my first screencast. I still use Camtasia for my recording, however those of you using Jing would be impressed to know that you can have a finished resource for your students in 10minutes!

The post editing with this video took about 30mins to add the music and title clips. I also recorded little things that I would like to make consistant in my next few screencasts. Things like how long the titleclip stays on screen for, The volume level of the music in the background and what font and fontsize were used in the title clips. Hopefully this will make the process even faster for my next go.

If you would like a screencast done. Simply send an e-Mail to andrew.dart@swtafe.vic.edu.au asking what you would like to have covered, and I'll be in contact with you. :)
