Jing is something we have looked at in the Library before. A couple of members of staff looked at a few different online guides we had and tried to make them more appealing by doing a Jing video. For some reason they never took off. Things change that often that it was decided that the amount of time taken to do one in comarison to how many user guides we had would mean it would take too long to kake them and top keep updating them. For now we are sticking with paper guides. I can however see the merits of Jing and do think it is a very useful feature that could work in some environments.
Podcasts are something that I have never felt the need to use. We prefer a more personal approach to delivering inductions and user education sessions so a podcast wouldn't fit in with how we work. I could see this being brilliant in other areas though, for example for libraries that support distance learners. The principal of our College has done a few podcasts but I find these have been a bit for the sake of doing them rather than fulfilling a need.
