Description of Technology – What is It?
Camtasia Studio is a software product that allows you to make professional, quality tutorials for the educational setting. These audiovisual tutorials can be used to inform or demonstrate content in a concise way and are also an effective tool for reaching out to visual learners. One of the main attractions of Camtasia is its ability to produce videos with compact file sizes while still providing high quality video recordings.
Camtasia works by recording the on-screen activity of a computer. For example, the program can be used to record a demonstration of formatting a research paper or setting up a student email account. There is also an editing component, which allows advanced features to be added to your recording, such as narrating the action. These tutorials can be saved in multiple file formats, depending on how they are to be distributed: DVD, the Web, iPod, etc.
