This module provides some practice with some software packages designed to make placing information on the web or in Blackboard/WebCT much easier. This module assumes that you already have knowledge of creating a basic PowerPoint presentation.
Impatica for PowerPoint is a software program used to modify PowerPoint presentations so that students will not need Microsoft PowerPoint or the PowerPoint viewer to look at the file. Most importantly, Impatica converts the narrated PowerPoint presentation into a format that is easily accessible for all students no matter what type of internet connection they have.
Camtasia is a software program that allows faculty to record high quality presentations such as recording narrated PowerPoint presentations with audio/and or video, or recording what is happening on their computer screen. If you want to create mini-software tutorials for your students or want to demonstrate a specific concept, Camtasia is one option that you can use to create the tutorial.
SnagIt is a very easy to use software tool that allows faculty to capture what's on their computer screen--an image, an article, part of a web page, etc., and then easily add text, arrows, effects and save it as an image file. The file can easily be shared through e-mail, embedded into a webpage, or presentation file. It's a great visual aide tool.
