Recording Audio in the Field Using an iTalk (3:00), Texas Tech University Multiple Literacy Lab (MuLL)

Instructions Using a Combination of Video Demonstration and Screen Capture

Video is an excellent medium for conveying instructions. While written instructions tell people what to do through words and static pictures, instructional videos also show people what to do. Web-based videos are an effective way to provide instructions to an audience who can access videos over the Internet.

This video explains how to use some equipment in a multimedia lab at a university. Specifically, it shows people how to use an iPod to record an audio file and then download the file onto a computer. People who use lab equipment might not perform certain tasks very often, so instructions even for simple tasks can be very helpful.
