The document discusses the structure and educational approach used in PaulPaulito.com screencasts. The screencasts follow an intro-content-summary format and aim to engage students' auditive, tactile and visual senses. They present information both verbally and visually, include block diagrams for overview, and contain exercises that require students to multitask and investigate topics on their own. This mimics real-world problem solving expected of system administrators. The screencasts are suitable for both e-learning and mobile learning.

Why a PaulPaulito.com screencast?
• a construct inside every screencast: intro, content, summary
(short repetition of content) and exercises
• triggering auditive, tactile (animating student to open own
terminal) and visual senses of the student
• the information is spoken and is also visible in text form,
repeated again at the end of each screencast (triggering
different senses)
• block diagrams give an overview about screencasts content
and help students to create their own correlation between the
topics and tools explained. Block diagrams are not supposed
to explain everything in detail rather than to make student
think them self!
• another strategy of our screencasts is to teach the student
also to multitask, listen to something and obtain different
visual information at the same time.
• the exercises and some parts of the screencasts are raising
questions and provoking students to answer these questions
and investigate further in that topic (Internet or other study
material). That's very close to the real working environment
where system administrators constantly have to find solutions
for problems that are raising up.
• suitable for e-Learning as well as for m-Learning (iPad,
iPhone, other mobile devices)
