Screen capture means recording what appears on your device screen, which could include going through a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation, drawing or marking up a document, or demonstrating the solving of a problem set.
NOTE: Depending on what your instructor has required, you may need access to a microphone and/or webcam if these are not already built into your device. You may also need presentation, whiteboard, or markup tools for your screen capture.
