Screencasts
De MoodleDocs
What are screencasts?
Screencasts are ways to present material. Usually they are a series of screen captures of a computer screen with a audio track. These are often used to present small lessons. They can also be embedded in a Moodle page.
Where do I find screencasts about Moodle?
You may find links to screencasts at the bottom of many MoodleDoc pages with external links to Moodle screencasts on YouTube or other places, e.g. Moodle Tutorials.
A favorite is the UsingMoodle channel by Moodlefairy aka Mary Cooch.
