How can it enhance my teaching?

College faculty and staff can use Camtasia in many ways, including:

• Recording and posting lectures online so that students can revisit content that was unclear.  This can also be used for students with disabilities that have difficulty physically attending classes.

           Example: "Subtracting Tips"           
           Example Case Study: “Recording Live Lectures with PowerPoint”
          

• Supplementing or even replacing textbooks with audiovisual lessons created in Camtasia.

            Example Case Study: “Replacing Textbooks at Walsall Academy”    

• Instructors can also record their lectures for self-reflection and assessment, to see where they could make improvements

• Instructors and students can include multimedia projects in an electronic portfolio.

• Providing an introduction to students in an online class

           Example: "Welcome to the Class"

• Producing short, timely tutorials that elaborate on, or reinforce the content from a training workshop.  In addition, quizzes can be added to assess the students’ knowledge and understanding of the content.
