Screencast with Camtasia

This video is part of a training course for the language teachers at the Studio Italia Language School, private linguistic institution in Budapest, Hungary. The general aim of this course for teachers is to correctly use the new Electronic register, recently implemented by the school. The learning goal of the following video is to be able to recognize the different parts that make up the Electronic Register, and their specific functions. More information about the course can be found in the Instructional Design Document in the 200X section.

I created this video using the trial version of Camtasia. I preferred using this software over other free softwares (Screencastify; Screencast-o-matic) because it is a tool whose expertise is frequently required in the job market and my personal goal was to learn how to use it. The disadvantage of the trial version is that the video has an eye-catching watermark throughout its duration. For a professional version of the video I would have used or a free software, or the complete version of Camtasia, in order to solve the watermark problem.

The video responds to the didactic objective illustrated in the introduction to this page: "recognize the different parts that make up the new Electronic Register, and their specific functions". The learners are the teachers working at the private language school Studio Italia, in Budapest, Hungary.

The video is preceded by an initial theme created with wave.video which has the purpose of presenting the instructional designer who created the video and, if standardized also in the next videos, to make my work recognizable. I then polished the entire video in iMovie and uploaded it to my YouTube channel. I then added the script of the text and the closed captioning to the video, of which I took care of the correctness and punctuation and I checked the synchronicity with the speech of the video.
