Thing 38 Screen Casting

I have used SnagIt which is kind of Camtasia Lite. We did a usability study with about 20 students and used SnagIt to do screen capture and audio for each student. Other librarians have also done some tutorials using different screen capture programs. I actually learned something about optimizing photos in PowerPoint today that I coul have used much earlier in my career. I have also used Jing. These tools are great for making tutorials and I can see them coming into much more use in the future. If used as a tutorial, I would recommend also posting a text version because if you forget one step of a process, it is annoying to have to go back through a video to find the information you need.
