For web access, I use one of those nifty mobile wifi hotspots from Verizon. Occasionally, I might augment the audio with a lavalier microphone ( Audio-Technica ATR-3350) connected to a Sony digital voice recorder. Along with that, I use ScreenFlow on a MacBook Pro. When I’m at one of my “office annex” locations, I typically use a Logitech C920-which houses a built-in stereo microphone-to record any picture-in-picture type web videos I want to use in my screencast tutorials. The latter being whatever regional park or coffee house I tend to find myself in.
I like to say I have two studios: my office and my “office annex” locations. What kind of studio or set up do you have ?

In addition to that, I create at least one or two How To videos per week for my blogsite at – and over a hundred or so individual modules for a few online screencasting courses I’ve published-and am currently publishing-on as well as several on my online training website at. In just the last couple of years I’ve created over two hundred individual screencasts for course training modules. It’s interesting to compare the resources-and number of people-it took back then to create one “screencast” versus what we can pump out today in just minutes with just one person proficient in a tool like ScreenFlow. Back then, we used tools like Authorware to build eLearning programs and bantered around terms like CBT (computer-based training) and WBT (web-based training) to describe projects that developed online learning programs. That was when the entire feature set could still fit on a few 3.5-inch / 1.44MB floppy disks.īefore that, I did some “screencasting” work on contract projects through my work with Andersen Consulting (now Accenture). I started screencasting when I first got ahold of a PC-based screencasting product back in 2002. How long have you been screencasting and approximately how many screencasts have you made? If you’re looking for a ‘deep dive’ on how to use ScreenFlow, this is a great resource to check out.) Mel’s new online course “ Beyond PowerPoint: Teach Online With ScreenFlow For Mac” has just been released on.
Thanks Mel, for taking the time to share with us!

With a background in communications and online learning, his blogs are full of useful tips on using screencasting software, as well as developing better online techniques. Mel is not only a really nice guy, he is also a veritable wealth of knowledge when it comes to screencasting and online learning. I recently had the happy chance to meet Mel Aclaro when he came up to visit our headquarters in Nevada City, California.
