Education, 2011 Incorporating Screencasts into Chemical Engineering Courses: Online Videos as Course Supplements and Student FeedbackAbstract An online inventory of screencasts covering topics in six core chemical engineering courseshas been created to provide learning resources for undergraduate students. Screencasts arerecordings with accompanying narration, and are mostly made by screen captures of Tablet PCscreens. They are designed to supplement courses, rather than replace the experience in theclassroom. In contrast to video lectures, where a professor is recorded during class, thesescreencasts are shorter (~10 min) videos that present solutions to solving example problems,explain important concepts, provide
