I came across the app called Iorad about two years ago, but was then too busy to follow up on it. Iorad is for creating e-learning demonstration tutorials, and at that time, I thought it would take quite some time to learn.
Yesterday, I stumbled on an Iorad tutorial which demonstrated how to create an iorad tutorial. I was totally awed by how easy it was to use Iorad. I quickly had a go, and here is my first Iorad tutorial which demonstrated how to create a quiz using a Google Form (which many of you will know already). It was created in less than 5 minutes.
Although such demonstrations can be created in the form of explainer videos, using screen-recording apps such as Loom and Screencastify, Iorad requires hands-on response from the viewer, who actually has to follow the steps indicated on the screen. This should increase the learning effectiveness.
Another feature of Iorad is its text-to-speech option. Each step shown on the screen will be accompanied with voiceover explanation.
This Chrome extension will come in handy for my course on Technology Enhanced Language Learning, which often requires me to explain how to use different e-learning tools.
