The current study aimed to analyze student and teacher opinions that participated to a screencasting centered undergraduate course. To achieve this, screencasts about Photoshop software were created using Camstudio Open Source (camstudio.org) application and also the students were asked to create their own screencasts. In addition, the produced screencasts were shared by the instructor via YouTube (www.youtube.com) social media site. 46 students and the instructor were interviewed about the screencasting activities of the course. Majority of the students reported that, screencasting could be used by anybody computer literate, sharing these screencasts on social media make learning compelling, using them via social media makes it accessible in an unlimited way, and makes pinpointing easy about anything they wanted to learn.
