Camtasia Lab – create a short learning object

I’m on leave for a few weeks, so I decided that I better leave you some homework to keep you occupied in my absence.

Objective
The objective of this assignment is to create a short e-learning module based E-Learning_Curve_Blog_Using Camtasia upon a PowerPoint presentation. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to convert a PowerPoint presentation into a Web-deliverable format.

The demo must contain slides, animation, graphics, transport controls and a progress bar. In the ‘Things to Try Yourself’ section of the tutorial, there are some guidelines about how to add audio narration to your learning object.

Format
The published learning object must be a Flash movie (FLV or SWF) file, and the file must be able to play back in a standard Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Opera or Mozilla Firefox.

Hopefully this assignment will keep you occupied in my absence, so I would like to wish you a happy Easter / Spring break, and I’ll talk you in May.

this looks a little bit like what http://www.class-connect.com is planning to roll out over the summer. at their expo last month they had an exhibit where you could screen capture and then directly upload it to the website so that it was viewable by students and teachers
