Well-known for some years to advanced technology users, Screen Capture Software (SCS) offers the promise of recording action on the computer desktop (right down to the mouse movement and mouse clicks) together with voiceover narration, all combined into a single movie file that can be shared, emailed, or uploaded. Educause (2006) defines screencasts as the “screen capture of the actions on a user’s computer screen, typically (http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7012.pdf) with accompanying audio, distributed through RSS. SCS burst forth on the scene in the mid 2000s with prominent names like TechSmith’s Camtasia ($299) and Adobe’s Captivate ($799). These full-featured programs include every editing, mixing, and re-mastering function imaginable, and are very user-friendly. The more recent years have seen much lower-cost alternatives such as SnagIt ($49), FullShot ($49), and !Quick Screen Recorder ($29), as well as a dozen others, all of which bundle fewer services in exchange for the lower price. While maintaining the user-friendly functionality, they often restrict file output to only one or two file types, and offer minimal editing tools, or sometimes none at all. The third wave of innovation in the SCS realm has come about even more recently, with many suitable screen capture technologies now completely free to the user. CamStudio (www.camstudio.org) offers a free download for a minimalist screen recorder that offers output in .avi (Audio Video Interleave) or .swf (Small Web File) formats (with the latter especially recommended for direct integration with an online Learning Management System like BlackBoard). There are few other features in CamStudio, save the ability to manually set the recording field if the full screen is not desired. Because CamStudio is free of most editing tools, however, its stripped-down status renders the end user experience simple in the extreme. Users wishing to edit the videos after initial recording may find the .avi output of CamStudio useful, though .avi files are uncompressed and usually too large to upload or attach to an email, leading to a need to save the files later with a different filetype. |
