Abstract

We propose to use application "Screen Video Capture" (SVC) to observe and assess information literacy skills (information literacy). The proposed application is able to record all activity video displayed on a computer screen. This observation allows "non-invasive" as the search process, the selection and use of information. We present a pilot experiment in which we used the open source software CamStudio and focuses on research use of this application.
