Description:

This session will introduce users to Camtasia™, a piece of software that is: • Inexpensive • Easy for a non-computer-science-user to learn its “basics“ • Useful to those wishing to produce multimedia learning modules • Capable of more advanced features once the user is more experienced • Flexible in that ALL SORTS of “presentations” can be produced including “PR” materials, web-tour productions, lab-based-recordings, software demonstrations, etc. • Basically, if you can see it on a computer screen, you can narrate it and produce a CD-based or on-line presentation with little or no training. We will discuss the necessary/advisable hardware, the appropriate computer skills, and we will see some typical examples of modules which have been developed utilizing this software. We will also actually use Camtasia™ to create such a module during the three-hour tutorial session
