You can record a video clip using your mobile phone itself, using the camera on the phone. While recording the video, take care to ensure that you are not shooting copyright materials or private spaces. You can copy the video file from your phone to your computer for editing and re-mixing to create OER.

Screen casting is also a simple yet powerful way of creating a video resource. The [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php RecordMyDesktop] software records the computer output display as the video and audio (image 26). This can be used to record the functioning of a software or any educational application. In addition to the audio played on the computer as part of the running of the application, additional audio spoken and provided as an input to the computer can also be recorded as a part of the video.

Screen casting is also a simple yet powerful way of creating a video resource. The [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php RecordMyDesktop] software records the computer output display as a video with audio, as shown in the image. This can be used to record the functioning of a software or any educational application. In addition to the audio played on the computer as part of the running of the application, additional audio spoken and provided as an input to the computer can also be recorded as a part of the video.
    
You can set your computer audio output to mute, and provide the audio entirely from an external source (which can be your own voice, or an audio recorded earlier on your mobile phone or computer). In this way you can combine the video from the computer with your own narrative to make a lesson plan on a topic.

# Dubbing a video can create a resource in another language.  In a teaching setting, you may want to use an existing video, and voice over it to add explanations to reflect the language and learning context of your class; this can be done quite effectively using this  application. To dub a video using [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php record my desktop] , you need to set the sound settings on your computer to ‘mute’ (no output). Then start [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php record my desktop] application and play the video. As the video plays, read out your script. The audio read out by you will be combined with the video being shown on the screen to create the video in your language.
