Screencasts are ways to present instructional material, usually through a series of pictures with an audio track.
Screencasts in Moodle
Screencasts use the multimedia capabilities in Moodle. They can be embedded in most Moodle pages that have the HTML editor. A screencast might use a flash (.sfw) file.
Where do I find screencasts about Moodle?
