Top tips for screencasting

Define the purpose of your screencast;

Keep it short ( less than five minutes – often just one or two minutes will be sufficient);

Write a brief script/storyboard – maybe get someone to review it and offer feedback;

Have all your materials ready

Practise first before you record so you don’t need to edit afterwards.
