Camtasia
Sounds are recorded by default, but a webcam can also be used if applicable. It is also possible to record the power points directly.
After the recording, a variety of edits can be made. You can add audio commentary (up to three soundtracks), pictures, or subtitles; you can even insert a simple quiz or survey. This tool supports SCORM standards and offers a variety of export formats, such as wmv, mov, avi, MP3 and Flash. Camtasia runs only with Windows and Mac (each has its own version).
Advantages
- Uncomplicated live documentation of presentations, lectures, informational events, speeches from guest lecturers and project presentations
- Studio recordings of program demonstrations, tutorials or experimental recordings
- Editing possible, but not required
Requirements
You need a laptop or Tablet-PC with Camtasia software, a microphone and camera (optional).
We have put together the necessary hard- and software for you: The rental set "Lecturnity Mobile," which consists of a Tablet PC, a microphone, as well as a webcam and presenter. The recording software Camtasia and Lecturnity are already pre-installed on this computer. Alltogether, it weighs a mere 2,5 kg! Therefore, you can take the Lecturnity Mobile with you anywhere.
In comparison to a normal computer, a Tablet PC allows you to easily write on the screen using a pen so that you can take notes or draw images as if on a notebook. This way you can take notes and make marks or underline important points during the presentation.
If you are planning to do a lot of recording, you can get Camtasia through the University's software shop and afterwards come to the IT Services to get some advice for how to use the hardware.
