Video FAQ

After stumbling through several failed videos where I mangled my sentences or clicked incorrect buttons, or the phone rang in the middle, through superhuman endurance (or at least stubborn determination) I managed to create a new FAQ Page for the Campus Calendar at my organization. Several of the questions have links to videos created with Jing to more directly illustrate the point.

My favorite, though, is this video explaining field mapping. To make it, I first made several screen shots of various screens with Jing, color coded them and saved them to my computer, and then pulled them into the screen during the video as needed.

This was an exciting project, and I expect there will be more questions and videos to come. In fact, I'm going to solicit them! See what I end up with.

(As an aside, the College website on which I made this page is powered by the open source software Drupal. Open source really is everywhere.)

  1. Ah, perfect use of tools that you learned from class. In my workplace we are trying to create our own customized training videos for our application developer using jing, moviemaker and audiocity.
