In this resources, the Institute of Progressive Education and Learning provides definitions, history, and examples of Screencasting and Digital Storytelling (DST) in education.

From the resource: "A recent trend in eLearning is screencasting. There are many screencasting tools available but the latest one allows the users to create screencasts directly from their browser and make the video screencasting available online so that the viewers can stream the video directly. The advantage of such tools is that it gives the teacher the ability to show her ideas and flow of thoughts rather than simply explain them, which may be more confusing when delivered via simple text instructions."
