Meeting Instructional Faculty Needs: Training Faculty with Screencasting
Jean Javellana, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, lifelonglearning.javell@gmail.com

Abstract: This instructional design project evaluated a video based instructional module created with Jing, and its effectiveness of how images and videos of detailed travel procedures can enhance learner’s knowledge and accessibility in completing online travel authorization forms using the University’s eTravel website. Furthermore, this study evaluated how presenting verbal and visual explanations together in a coordinated way were more effective than giving separate written step-by-step instructions. Post-secondary faculty members from various academic departments at the University of Hawai`i – West O`ahu participated in this study. A literature review briefly discussed the uses of screencasting in higher education libraries and large organizations, and how libraries are creating screencasting video and images to enhance their search strategies and reference services. Based on a pretest/post test experimental method, and a post attitudinal survey, instructional faculty found use of screencasting helpful in illustrating complex travel instructions to complete the online travel authorization forms. Further research is needed to determine if screencasting is an effective learning tool for instructional faculty, as well as for other eTravel users, such as support staff in the organization.
