Screen Cast Topic!
I decided to make a presentation on the differences between standard and mechanical keyboards.
Reflection Questions
"Which principles did you have in mind when you were creating your screen-cast? Which were you able to employ and which were more challenging to follow?"
The principles that were shown in this screen-cast were the:
Signaling principle:
Made text bullet point and summarized, pointed to where I was talking on the screen
Contiguity principles:
I made sure the relevant text were near labels/photos. I also pointed to what I was talking about on the screen
Segmenting:
For the break down of the mechanical switch, I broke it down into smaller parts, I should have been coherent with the labels on screen and the parts I verbally said out loud.
Personalization Principle and Voice Principle:
I used causal language and tried to speak loud (used my own voice). I also tried to give background information if not clear (ex: why we put lube in our switches)
The principles that were lacking in this screen cast were the:
Redundancy principle:
Some slides did include graphics, narration, and text. I think they were necessary though but I probably could have found a way to split them up.
Image Principle:
I decided to record my face during the screen cast for a more human like presentation. I made sure my face was small, and it didn't block any information. But sadly, this was not following the Image Principle.
YouTube Video
Here is the screen cast I made uploaded to youtube!
