Lecture Capture

Using Camtasia Relay, it is possible for a lecturer to record the onscreen display from their computer-based presentation as well as their voice, creating a rich-media video stream of the lecture which can then be viewed at a later date by students.   It offers simple editing tools that allow you to crop the beginning and/or end points, or extract a section from the middle of the presentation.   Camtasia Relay is not able to capture external video sources such as document camera, and has a limited capability for onscreen animation.

Camtasia Relay is available on all UTSC classroom podium PCs and can used on your personal computer.  A step-by-step guide for installing and using Camtasia Relay is available online here.
