Building a Distance Learning Multimedia System

Instructor: Tera Doty
Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: Science II - 134
Rating: Introductory

The goal of this workshop is to give the participants a basic understanding of what elements are necessary to build a simple multimedia system for the purpose of creating distance-learning modules utilizing SofTV and Camtasia Studio.

Areas to be covered include necessary equipment, including but not limited to digital video cameras, microphones, video switchers, lighting, and software, specifically Camtasia Studio and SofTV.

Camtasia Studio captures screen activity that can be combined with an audio track to create tutorials and demonstrations. SofTV synchronizes a video lecture with PowerPoint presentations to create fully searchable multimedia web pages. Participants will have an opportunity to work with both of these pieces of software and observe how a simple and portable multimedia recording station incorporates both of these applications to create distance-learning modules.
