This is a short list but I have just now set on an action research topic and did not attempt too many research articles. Here are three that will help guide my understanding and establish background information.
Brown-Sica, M., Sobel, K., & Pan, D. (2009). Learning For All: Teaching Students, Faculty, And Staff With Screencasting. Public Services Quarterly,5(2), 81-97.
This quarterly references the use of short, quickly produced online tutorials. The article discusses ways and methods to create screencasts that are customized to each troubleshooting issue. The screencasts are created with an emphasis on getting the information to the customer as quickly as possible. The methods sacrifice perfection in order to deliver customized support. The rationale for creating, evaluating, and publicizing tutorials is discussed but not compared to professional development that is based in person.
Dana, H., Havens, B., Hochanadel, C., & Phillips, J. (2010). An innovative approach to faculty coaching. Contemporary Issues in Education Research (CIER), 3(11), 29-34.
The primary question beeing researched is “Will faculty relationships be enhanced and will teaching measures increase by the use of multimedia technology in coaching?” This study looks at the use of screencasts to inform department chairs of technology integratration into assessments and analytics. The purpose is to ascertain the effectiveness of professional development through the use of screen casts. The study assisted department chairs and administrators’ decisions concerning the tech integration.

The research presented attempts to remedy a deficiency in instructing students in the Dewey Decimal Classification System. To assist the instruction, basic screencasts were developed to assist distance education students. Using benchmarks, researchers were able to preclude the possible outcome of using these tech. tools. The expectation or hypothesis is “students will have increased success because of the addition of screencasts. (2007).
