| Abstract | Most mathematics instructors would agree that a student’s journey towards a problem’s solution is often more important to the student’s learning than the particular solution he or she finds. This paper presents a method for students to communicate this journey through video. The paper describes video essay assignments in which students are asked to create and narrate a screencast that addresses a certain problem in the course. In the paper I will first review two freely available screencast programs and discuss the technical issues of introducing the software to students. Then I will discuss how the projects were implemented in both a business calculus and modern algebra course. I will include a discussion of assessment for both courses, including summative assessment of the videos and formative assessment of the projects as teaching tools. |
