One of the most intriguing speakers introduced me to an app called Touchcast. Students now are constantly \u2018expressing their cultural identity fluently&nbsp;across all of their mature media channels\u2019 (from Dr. Vogt\u2019s Module 3 Review). Touchcast\u2019s use of vApps (Video Apps) allows students to interact in real-time with elements of a presentation directly from that Touchcast; they can scroll a twitter feed, check out a website, click through photos, all within that video presentation \u2013 the Touchcast. With this mobile app, you can create a video by recording with or without a green screen, following the teleprompter, and adding other media through these vApps as you go. Whether for student presentation use or for teachers of online courses, this creates an interactive, compelling \u2018transmedia storyworld\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our hyper-twitch culture and smooth video and audio production, it\u2019s unavoidable that students expect professional videos and interactive presentations. Touchcast enables teachers and students to create beautifully integrated lectures and assignments on iOS. If you\u2019re new to Touchcast, like I was,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uyLK8N4ovdg\">this video<\/a>&nbsp;will give you a quick overview of its capabilities and aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you used Touchcast in the classroom? What were your experiences?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted by\u00a0Kate Quinn\u00a0on June 4, 2018 Last week, I attended the Advancing Learning conference at Fanshawe College in London Ontario which explores tech in&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/2020\/05\/27\/touchcast-an-app-for-creating-transmedia-storyworlds\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Touchcast \u2013 An App for Creating Transmedia Storyworlds<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":71771,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobileculture","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1757"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1758,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757\/revisions\/1758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
