For whiteboard screencasting, which is more free-form than lecture capture using Keynote or PowerPoint, the scripting process has to be a little more rigorous. You first have to engage in basic planning, which involves defining a tight and coherent scope for your screencast and writing out a script. The basic principles of whiteboard screencasts are the same as for other screencasts. This is a really powerful use of screencasts - students often want more examples than there is time for in a class meeting, and whiteboard screencasts give me a way to give students as many examples as they can dream up. I use them sometimes for presenting hand calculations for students to watch and work through before class, and sometimes (probably more frequently) I use them to create additional examples for things I’ve covered in class. I do whiteboard screencasts fairly often.
