Paper-based guideis not good • Recent students dislike reading • Preference for just looking at figures/pictures. • Complete selection of screenshots? • Takes too much space.
Screen-captured videoclips • Transition of all screens • Basic mouse-operation • Ex. Scrolling-down the screen • Can be paused anytime
Moodlecasts? Screen-captured videoclips
Videoclips in Japanese There are currently few video clips None concerning moodle operation

Distribute “as is” • http://yajix.mis.oiu.ac.jp/moodle/course/view.php?id=39 • Guest OK • “.wnk” files (you can edit them with WINK)
Contributions Welcome Temporary repository
Making videoclips • Which OS do your students use? • Videoclips must be captured on that OS • “WINK” • free capturing tool on MS-Windows and Linux
WINK TIPS (1) File -> choose language -> Japanese restart
WINK TIPS (2) • Resolution : 800x600 • Smaller is better • Student opens 2 windows • Video clip window • Focused window
WINK TIPS (3) • “Timed Capture Rate” : 4 frames/second • Default setting • “Record Audio” doesn’t work well • Re-voice after capturing • Audio-less videoclips are better
WINK TIPS (4) • Don’t use keyboard shortcuts • Student can’t recognize the operation • Use mouse whenever possible • Cursor will show your whole operation • Right-clicks need a description balloon
WINK TIPS (5) • Description balloon • My setting: MS GOTHIC, 20pt. • With pause (3~10 sec.) • Multibyte-characters are not recognized • Save compressed
WINK TIPS (6) • Moodle setting: • Security -> Site policies -> Allow EMBED and OBJECT tags • Upload your “.swf” files • Create web page -> HTML mode • Copy HTML source and edit flash URL
WINK TIPS (7) • Short duration • 1~2 min. is best • Long operation :split into short sections
