What I produced
How does it work
Echo360 was used to record the screen, whilst the microphone was used to narrate.
I started with a PowerPoint, in which I used the simple animation, appear and disappear functions.
Important point – the final video is only 640x480. Small details will not show very well, so set your screen resolution accordingly.

Observations about this exercise.
“By far the best aid was the video walk through of the practice exam paper on blackboard if only other subjects did this!”– real feedback from a student.
The videos for the Electronics module have been available for two consecutive years, and they have received between 30 – 80 views. This from approx 70 students per year.
Must be promoted by the lecturer
Thanks for listening
