When recording short videos with the Camtasia Recorder, it’s most efficient to record your voiceover audio at the same time. However, it may be necessary for you to add the audio to the video later while working in the Camtasia Editor. You didn’t think you’d like audio in your video but now you’ve changed your mind.

Level 1 eLearning could include voiceover audio, a quiz, and be enabled for tracking via SCORM and/or AICC LMSs. This type of eLearning allows learners to go back and forth, pause, and play but that's about it for interactivity. These could be videos or PowerPoint presentations.

And I’ve seen courses that included voiceover narration but little (or no) text on the screen… just some very dated clipart. Should there be voiceover audio combined with text and images? In fact, the study says that most people learn best with a combination of audio and visual. Should there be less text but more images?
