Blame it on Mike!

So usually I post on Wednesday’s and I am a day late but I am blaming that on Mike Kennedy.  For those of you who were unable to attend his farewell reception yesterday that’s where I was instead of writing my weekly blog.  Some of you may know him well others not so well but I have worked with Dr. Kennedy since he came to our college and will miss him.  As one of the early adopters of many technologies offered here at the university he has been one of my “best” customers.  Not only did he try many tools but provided great feedback on their use within his course delivery as well as in the classroom.  So today I challenge all to try something new this semester!

OET offers training sessions here and ITCS offers training via Cornerstone on both East Campus and occasionally on West Campus.  Don’t see anything you are interested well then let’s talk!

Camtasia

Camtasia is screen recording software that records your on screen activity, audio, and web cam video. Camtasia also provides a PowerPoint Add-In so you can easily narrate a PowerPoint file and share it with your students. Camtasia Training.  In addition to recording class lectures, you can use Camtasia to provide learning resources to students, take your students on a guided tour of your online course environment, provide a “how to” demonstration, and much, much more.

Camtasia is now available for faculty from ITCS, just contact the Help Desk and request the software.  Academic Outreach is providing training sessions July 14 & 16.

If those dates don’t work for you the OET will be glad to provide a demo and/or help you get started with this software.  Just contact our office!
