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.]]> 2021-10-15 23:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sheridanniall/1kq9nuhwyiy7hlxe/wish/1820504890 Producing a Tutorial in Camtasia. sheridanniall https://padlet.com/sheridanniall/1kq9nuhwyiy7hlxe/wish/1820507454 Watch this video to learn how to produce a video tutorial in Camtasia.]]> 2021-10-15 23:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sheridanniall/1kq9nuhwyiy7hlxe/wish/1820507454 Exporting a Video from Camtasia sheridanniall https://padlet.com/sheridanniall/1kq9nuhwyiy7hlxe/wish/1820510617 Watch this video to learn how to export your video from Camtasia.]]> 2021-10-15 23:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sheridanniall/1kq9nuhwyiy7hlxe/wish/1820510617 Activity 1 - Download and Install Camtasia sheridanniall https://padlet.com/sheridanniall/1kq9nuhwyiy7hlxe/wish/1828505830 It's time to get hands on!
