Abstract

The widespread availability in universities of modern video recording and management systems integrated into Virtual Learning Environments, such as Panopto with Moodle, now enables all students to easily create and submit their own recordings for assessment, and the platform enables the management of the marking and feedback to be simple and effective.  It is time that lecturers embraced this development in order that assessment remains effective and relevant.  The ability to create a screencast or video for assessment should be an essential digital literacy skill for all university students.
