In this course, we've chosen to use Techsmith Camtasia for tutorial recording and production. There are lots of alternative tools out there that you may want o to explore after the course. but Camtasia is a great place to start. Here are some of the reasons we've chosen Camtasia:

1. It includes a screen recorder - so you don't need to learn how to use a separate recorder.
2. It's more affordable than some other options e.g. Premiere Pro.
3. it's easy to use.
4. it works across the Mac and Windows platforms.
