Camtasia Studio 6, Part I
Tuesday, February 10, 2:00 to 4:00 PM, TLC LB 3231C
Instructor Coryl Celene-Martel
The new version of Camtasia is here! Camtasia Studio 6 is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for narrating PowerPoint presentations, providing instructions or tours of your website for students, saving repetitively answering frequently asked questions about homework, lesson requirements, etc. and/or enabling more nuanced instructions than you could type out in an email. You can easily record screen action and add narration or music or explanatory text to clarify a procedure or sequence of actions for students, improving accessability for students with a variety of learning styles and creating a reusable course resource for quarters to come. While much of the recording and editing functionality in version 6 is the same as in version 5, the interface has changed and they’ve added the capacity to produce materials for cell phones, ipods, DVD and even direct to YouTube. This workshop, Camtasia, Part I, will focus on using PowerPoint in conjunction with Camtasia, both as a presentation to be narrated and as a tool to use in preparing for and organzing other types of onscreen demonstations. (Early warning: part II, which is scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, will look at the editing interface including how to “zoom-and-pan,” add “callouts, ” insert music and all the other cool stuff Camtasia makes possible to add after the basic recording is made.)
Tools
for Online Tasks: Blogs, Wikis & Second Life
Thursday, February 12, 2:00 to 4:00 PM, TLC LB 3231C
Instructors Carol Howe and Terre O'Malley
Have you heard about new technologies for classroom use, such as blogs, wikis
and 2nd Life? Are you wondering how time-intensive they are to undertake and
how one can effectively use them in an online or hybrid classroom? This workshop
is a first introduction/demonstration of these web-based communication tools.
Plenty of examples and resources will be provided around ideas of how to integrate
them effectively into an online classroom (or a face-to-face meeting). We
will set up a wiki to demonstrate how student collaboration can be expedited
with this useful (and free!) “Web 2.0 technology.”
