Experience with Camtasia (Week #8, Blog #1)

Last week in class we started using Camtasia. I have worked with Camtasia before but not to an advanced level. I'm looking forward to learing how to create transition slides because I have only used Camtasia to record PowerPoint lectures for a class. Also I'm looking forward to the other features like creating menus for your presentation.

I have discovered that Camtasia has a quiz feature built into the program. This would be a good idea for the Challenge exercise to make sure our learners are understanding the material. The quiz feature would also be a good idea when conducting other types of training.

Finally, I like that Camtasia allows you to save the presentation as a Flash, Windows Media Player, or podcast format. TechSmith was very smart creating this feature because now you can save to different formats to broaden your audience.
