Screen-casting is a format of learning that I have found to be ver effective in my learning. I remember watching a Khan Academy video for the first time in high school for one of my math classes. The format of actively watching an instructor go through processes and equations with a voice over was very helpful. The screen casting seemed to be a better way of learning during the pandemic as well. On Zoom, there were profs who only spoke. The best way I found to learn online in this way was though the screen-casting of power-points and images along with a voice over.
Allan Paivio’s Dual Coding Theory highlights the difficulty of only having one form of delivering information. One being language and the other being images. When having both, it makes it easier to remember and process the information. This theory supports a way of learning that I prefer which is the can be used on the screen-casting format.
