Karin, Thanks for the shout out for Online Interviews in Real Time ;-) You mentioned Adobe Connect as one of your options. Connect has recording capability built in. It allows you to view the recording in Connect or to save the recording in other formats.
From my view, the fewer kinds of software etc.you use, the fewer opportunities for something to go wrong-- so using Connect presents less risk than Skype with another service for recording. You'll have less to worry about when you want to focus on the interview itself.
If you have a conference call service you can enter it into your "audio profile" in Connect and use the phone for audio, or you can use VOIP. Connect also allows you (or the research participants) to share other documents, images or digital artifacts. If you are not using those tools you can just use the camera pods in the size you like. All of that said, you can find a number of free Skype recording tools, such as Vodburner. I'd be happy to communicate with you off-list if you have more questions: jsalmons<at>vision2lead.com. Best regards, Janet

Dear all
I've been a lurker on this list for a while now, but now it's time to come forth :) My name is Karin Bolld?n and I am a doctoral student in Educational Research at the Department of Studies in Adult, Popular and Higher Education, Link?ping university, Sweden. My research interests concerns ICT and learning in general, and specifically teaching and learning in online environments.
I am going to do synchronous online inteviews, probably through Skype or Adobe Connect and am looking for ways of recording both my and my interviewee's voices and outputs from webcams. I guess Camtasia could be a solution, but there seem to be some issues in capturing both my and my interviewee's audio sources. I've been browsing Janet Salmons book entitled 'Online inteviews in real time' (2010) but am still lacking hands on advice.
Does anyone here have hands on experience on this issue and/or reading suggestions concerning the method?
I will appreciate anything you have in mind on this!
Best wishes
Karin
