Tech – Using tablet capture to save time

Ever want to communicate a quick idea or demonstration to your students outside of class, but an email format was cumbersome? Have access to a tablet, such as an iPad? Consider making a quick tablet capture voice-over video. Unlike a talking-head video made in something like Loom, with an iPad connected to a desktop you can create a quick voice-over video to:

  • share a quick example that may involve drawings or computations
  • point out key parts of a reading or diagram
  • provide verbal feedback on students’ work

This excellent website from the University of Pittsburgh instructs how to create video capture on a variety of tablets and systems. This short article from The Teaching Professor gives a number of uses and best practices for tablet video capture.
