What is Jing?
A- A four-star Chinese restaurant in Denver Colorado,
B- One of the Three Treasures of Chinese medicine,
or
C- Screencasting software launched in 2007 by TechSmith.
Actually the correct answer is "ALL of the Above". However today's blog will focus solely on the technology aspect of Jing. Screencasting software is becoming evermore popular in the world of online education. There are several screen sharing options, several listed as freeware, which enhance the instructors ability to SHOW online students how to work a particular task. One such instructor at USU screencasts videos weekly allowing students to "see" instructions on how to FTP using Filezilla, etc.
I don't know how effective Jing would be in a seminary setting. I have several home school students who might find success in 5 minute screenshots on how to work a particular lesson or instructions on how to finish and submit and assignment, but I think Jing might only be able to partially augment a small portion of learning in a religious classroom such as mine.

C will be the best answer that majority of people will choose. I think it's a lite version of TechSmith Camtasia but the feature is far less than many screen recording software.
ReplyDeleteI can't afford Camtasia while do not satisfy Jing, so I have to choose other program as alternative.
BTW, I never hear the word Jing stands for a Chinese medicine treasure. I'm a native Chinese.
