The screencast is one of six types of learning or educational videos. In this video post, I’ll tell you what a screencast video is and explain how my agency, Learning Carton uses our instructional design process to rapidly create them for our clients.
This video was edited in Camtasia and subtitled using the free version of Kapwing.

The Screencast
What is a screencast? Why use one? And, how do you make one?
A screencast is a learning video that features the recording of a computer screen paired with audio narration to teach the viewer about something.
It often uses annotations and text overlays to support the narration.
The screencast is great at introducing your audience to a website, showing how to perform a task, or showing and telling a concept.
At Learning Carton, we make screencasts using our own process.
First, we talk about your business need and objectives and then create a PLAN to deliver measurable results.
Then, you give us your screen recorded material or provide us with access to your software.
We write a script, record professional narration and combine it with the video, and add a little magic.
Next, we improve it by giving you a chance to review and make any last finishing touches.
Finally, you share the screencast with your audience, and we help you make a plan to maintain it.
So, there you have it. Everything you need to know about screencasts.
Thanks for spending a minute with Learning Carton!
