Try out Screencast-o-matic to make a screencast for your partner with feedback on their BSG draft.

First, look through the draft pages and get a sense of what points you want to make. You want to identify parts of the BSG that you really like as well as areas where you have questions or suggestions for the author. Scroll through the pages and use the cursor to point to specific areas on the screen. Aim for a feedback of around 5 minutes.
