This week for our EDTECH 513 project we had to create a worked example video using software of our choice. This project had to include a faded worked example so learners could have the opportunity to respond to the content and to assist with far learning.
I had originally wanted to complete this project on another topic and using Articulate, but once I started mapping it out I realized that I would not have enough time to complete it the way I wanted. So instead I decided to show how to edit an image using Apple Photo and use Camtasia to capture the screen images.
To complete the project I mapped out my script and what would be shown on the screen. Because I know that trying to follow a script and also doing a screen capture at the same time is a challenge I decided to record smaller sections so it gave me the ability to edit more efficiently. For the headings I recorded the audio on Audacity and imported the audio files. And I recorded the screen capture and audio sections using Camtasia. I decided not to include any additional audio tracks such as background music as I felt that might be too much of a distraction to the learner.
I enjoyed working on this project as I love using Camtasia and Audacity as they are so easy to use. The only thing I wasn't truly happy with was that for the faded example I wasn't able to incorporate true interactivity into the training which was the original reason why I had wanted to use Articulate.
