February 10th, 1.15pm to 2.00pm (GMT): "Screen Capture", Eamon Costello, Dublin City University
(recording now available - see below)
Eamon joined DCU in 2004 after spending several years in industry as an IT consultant and a software developer and analyst. He has degrees in humanities and computing and am now pursuing a PhD in the area of open source and eLearning. He works as a module-coordinator on Oscail’s BSc. in Information Technology and as an eLearning specialist. His main research interest is in looking at practical ways of using technology in teaching and learning. ("While in my spare time I like to look at impractical ways of using technology for no good reason".) Eamon has modified his presentation title to the more provocative:
Screen Capture: All your lectures are belong to us!*
"In a nutshell screen capture is the art of developing educational materials by capturing a video of what is happening on a computer screen. This simple process can allow rapid creation of rich-media instructional aides. In this talk I will present some experiences of mine and of my colleagues in developing these resources for students of Oscail in Dublin City University who are studying a Bsc. in Information Technology by distance education. I will look at some tips I wrote two years ago on this topic and examine their continued relevance. The take-home message of this talk will be “publish or perish”, an exhortation to the educator to focus not on fancy production or editing of screen captures but rather on a process that involves a minimum of time and technical effort to create videos and get them to students. To finish I will give an overview of how we are using Camtasia Studio with Google Video as part of DCU’s roll out of Google Apps for Education and demonstrate some interesting aspects of this elearning platform."

I know that screen capture video is designed to capture and record screen activity in real time. Screen capture software captures moving action on screen and store it as an AVI video file. I also want to capture online videos. So, please suggest me best screen capture program as I am not getting a good one till now!
