(The Doceri app has native video recording right from the iPad.) But I find that using them together gives me the combination that I’m looking for: whiteboard-style annotated slides, plus video of a real person presenting them. Talk: Webcam video, overlaid at recording time using Screencast-O-Matic (PC/Mac).Įither one of these tools by itself can be a killer way to capture instructional videos.

The two main components of my “chalk and talk” video design are, naturally:Ĭhalk: The Doceri whiteboard and remote PC control app (iPad and PC/Mac). More specifics on my own hardware are in my Twitch post. Less precise, but still usable.) With my desktop computer, I add a decent webcam and as nice a microphone as I can manage. (Though when I began with Doceri in 2012, I used an inexpensive passive stylus from Dollar Tree. With my iPad, I use an Apple Pencil stylus these days. I combine two pieces of hardware - an iPad and a desktop computer - in producing my videos. The video below is a good illustration of what this technique can produce. Here’s how I produce mine with a relative minimum of time and fuss, and only two tools: the Doceri whiteboard app, and a screencast software. But for effective and reusable online content delivery, you can’t beat a carefully designed, 5- to 15-minute mini lecture video. Streaming live teaching via Twitch is great fun.
