Anna’s Post on Screencasting

Anna’s post is a detailed introduction to screencasting and its connection with the Dual Coding Theory. Screencasting is definitely a great example of how our sense of hearing and seeing are combined to maximize our learning outcomes. It is widely used not only in academic settings, but also in business or professional fields to transfer information, and can often deliver good results. I love her demonstration on how to use Honey, the Chrome extension that is designed to seek to automatically find coupon codes. The detailed narration and steps are really understandable and easy to follow. Although the validity of its coupons is testable, this is a nice-to-have extension in case something useful shows up.
