If the screen cast includes audio narration, no. From the the article: "the study determined that it is the dual action of speaking and hearing oneself that has the most beneficial impact on memory."

The person doing the learning needs to be speaking out loud. Screen casts with narration would be worse in this regard because the viewer wouldn't be able to speak and also listen.
