Good evening (uk)
I am wanting to produce some teaching/learning material of the type and quality shown in the attached youtube video:
Can someone please tell me what kind of software/hardware is being used to produce the video?
Many thanks Rick
Hi Richard - it's 1:50am in London and 9:50am in Perth, Western Australia
The Math & Physics YouTube video is very well done in pace and narration. If you want to do what this guy has done requires a Tablet (rather than a keyboard); a headset with a microphone for talking to the drawings; and Camtasia - the US$200 application for screen capture. I noticed that the clip is nearly 6 minutes long. You can download Jing for free from the Camtasia site and make similar clips of 3 minutes duration (which is actually a good length for student concentration spans).
Screen movies can be made of any application such as Excel, to demonstrate operations and functions. You can record the screen activity (i) silently and do a narration later; or (ii) without the cursor jiggling around - just the clicks.
There are actually many resources available. The example clip was produced in Flash which in itself is a very versatile medium.
Good luck with your quest. Ours is to have a demo on how to set up the Browser; how to navigate our Moodle courses; and how to use some of our resources.
Hi Richard.
Camtasia is great - the best of its kind - but it's a commercial product.
Alternatively there's camstudio (http://camstudio.org) which is free.
If you are interested in a video editing course, try this - it's free. Emphasis is on MovieMaker. http://scm.moodleace.com/course/view.php?id=28
But you will need to create a free account (email-based confirmation account).
Enjoy!
