TechSmith friends Tim Fahlberg, his sister Linda Fahlberg-Stojanovska, and Rev. Graeme MacNeil were featured in an article in the Oxford Journal titled "Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications"! It focused on their whiteboard math movies - or as Tim likes to call them, mathcasts. (If you've missed my last posts about mathcasts, they are a Camtasia Studio screen recording of writing, plus audio, and sometimes text showing how to solve a math problem.)

The article discusses how mathcasts are perfect for asynchronous learning because they are an easy and inexpensive way for teachers and students to interact - plus student to teacher or teacher to teacher. You can find a link to the abstract or entire article at the top of Tim's website here.

On a recent trip to Seattle, Tim showed me how to make a mathcast using a Tablet PC or a Wacom Tablet and OneNote. You can read more about that here in the blog archives.

Tim mentioned to me that he'd be happy to talk with anyone more about mathcasts. So, drop Tim an e-mail here for more info. know he'd be happy to you more about mathcasting.

Tim's a pioneer in whiteboard math movies. In fact, he's been doing them for over eight years! I'm glad Tim and his team are the getting the recognition they deserve for their passion. Congrats to Tim, Linda and Graeme!

Where have your Camtasia Studio videos taken you?
