Guest Blogger - Rich Boys Needs Your Feedback...

Posted on Thursday August 9, 2007 by Betsy Weber

Rich Boys has been with TechSmith for just over a year. He came here from the University of Michigan where he worked in various IT roles for the previous 12 years. There is always a fun rivalry between the UM and MSU grads at TechSmith. Go Blue!

So you want to capture lectures and presentations with Camtasia Studio. Are you worried that your faculty and presenters will find the recorder interface too complex or confusing?

We are exploring ideas to make the process easier on the recorder and very interested in your feedback on the subject.

How much feedback should we give the presenter that the recording has started?
Should we notify them if the audio is not capturing anything?
If we expand beyond just Windows what other computer operating systems should we get a recorder working for this sort of solution?
Finally, what are your preferred media formats for the output and where do you prefer to have these files stored, do you have your own web servers or Learning Management System?

So if you have an idea on what you would like to see in a lecture or presentation capture drop me a line. Help us make the product that would fit your needs.

Rich:
1. I would like export to flv with the possibility to add Flash quizzes at the end;
2. I would want the output to be SCORM compliant with the abilty to "take attendance" with the LMS's gradebook.
3. I would like the ability to record a gotomeeting session, with the ability to record a audio conferencing system, so that an instructor could record student questions as well as the instructor's response.
I'll have more later.
