Using Course Capture Product in New Ways - Duke Learning Innovation & Lifetime Education

Audio and even video capture of lectures is becoming more common on college campuses, which post the material to their Web sites so that students can revisit a lecture after the fact.

But Drexel University in Philadelphia, long known as a technology powerhouse, is using the university’s academic capture product in another way. There, instructors are far more likely to produce recordings from their desktops, including individual commentaries to a student from a professor. Staff members also are using rich media recording software, a product from TechSmith called Camtasia Studio, in new ways, such as creating online training videos for new hires.

However, where Camtasia really shines at the university is in what Drexel’s director of academic technology innovation, John Morris, calls “individual capture.” Most Drexel instructors who are taking advantage of Camtasia, he said, are using it at their desktops… ( Here’s an example* of a professor providing written and audio feedback while marking up a student’s paper and recording the process in a Camtasia video. *Need a RealPlayer to view the video)
