Jing
I was very impressed with how easy Jing was to use, no problems downloading, intuitive and easy to share information. I can certainly see the value of this type of recording to help with inductions and frequently asked questions such as searching our catalogue. At the moment this is restricted to exploring it at home for general interest as we can't download software at work. Having played with the principles I would certainly be interested in following this up.
I have been involved (at the edges) of creating a podcast, watching the technical aspects from the sidelines, and it demands a great deal of work and expertise to create a professional end product. I know personally, that I'm much more likely to try a visual explanation (hopefully with sound) than just a commentary. I'm not sure if that is just my learning style, or if it is indicative of modern ways of communicating information, however I can see that for capturing a seminar or talk for wider dissemination over the net at a later date this could be useful. It would allow more people to "take part" than those who were physically present at the time useful in when training and travel budgets are limited and time is a very precious commodity.
