Week 6 : Screencasting

This is actually a screencast that I did originally for a different course and I ended up using it in my classroom. The students liked it so I will probably use it next year. I used the opportunity of this course to enhance the editing a bit. Camtasia does a pretty good job auto zooming on the active window and on your cursor but sometimes it does more zooming than I want. For what I am demonstrating, I felt I needed to be closer so the students can read the code better so I adjusted some of the edit points on the Camtasia timeline and I bodly deleted some of them. I feel the flow is better without all the in and out. I also added a couple more titles into this version. Addin titles is not difficult to do and I feel that it enhances the demonstration quite a bit. I just needed to be careful to get them to come in and go out at the right time. There's a bit of a learning curve for ading titles and call-outs but it is short and worth the effort.
