Jing+Tutorials


 * JING TUTORIALS **

Jing is a free screen-capture software that can take a video of your screen and record you talking. I find it helpful to post solutions to challenging problems (or to walk students through tutorials to oft repeated sets of instructions (e.g. Logging in to moodle for the first time etc.)), by narrating and using a tablet to actually go through a mathy solution (though it certainly wouldn't be limited to math!). BY FAR, this is the DI tool about which I have gotten the most positive feedback from students. It allows students to go through solutions at their own pace, or revisit them if need be. It also frees up some class time because students who need to check out the solution, can check it out outside of class and those who got the challenge problem, won't end up sitting through a solution that they got off the bat.

Here's an example. There will be a quiz on Monday on the physics problem demonstrated.
