\"camtasia\"The Learning Studio continues to work with students and faculty on a wide range of audio and video projects. One thing learned in our first year is the importance of selecting the right tools.<\/p>\n

Though some projects require actual video editing, Camtasia offers a simple alternative for beginners. Camtasia for Mac is a screen-capture program available in the Learning Studio<\/span> that lets students create a movie from anything currently on their screen. Here are a couple uses of Camtasia for assignments this fall:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bring in a PowerPoint presentation and record audio narration for a simple slideshow.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a short video explaining how to use a basic web tool by recording the clicks with your own narration.<\/li>\n
  3. Use alternative presentation tools like Prezi<\/a> or 3D Timelines<\/a> to introduce a complex process or historical topic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    In short, if you can show it on screen. . . you can turn it into a video.<\/div>\n

    Just in case you need to make revisions to your project later on a different computer, remember to select “Create standalone project”<\/strong> before you Save.<\/p>\n
