Dear AoIR folks, I'm trying to get underway with a pilot study that requires complete tracking of computer activity during mediated team meetings. I'm looking for software that *ideally* will both record all key strokes in all applications and take either periodic screen shots or record screen activity as an mpeg or similar file. However, I would also settle for software that did either of these things (screen recording or keystroke logging) as long as it did them *well*. I've tried a couple of low-cost shareware programs but have not been able to get them to run or download correctly. I've found plenty of lists of software packages, but I'm looking for some kind of more reliable reviews of this type of software, most of which seems to be marketed to parents and spouses who want to spy on their loved ones' computer behavior. I would love to hear from people on this list who've used this type of software before, and can point me in the direction of relatively inexpensive packages I can use. In the ideal world the software I use would have Mac and Windows versions, but I expect this will be much harder to find. Please feel free to reply to me off list with any suggestions or ideas. Thanks! -Kris -- ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** * * Kris M.

There is a screen tracking software called "Cyber Cam". It is able to capture as a "movie" all the screenshots of the user's Windows based click streams. http://www.smartguyz.com/products/cybercam/ You can download a trial copy from http://download.com.com/3000-2194-10103520.html?tag=lst-0-1 ---------------------------------------------------- Ulla Bunz Assistant Professor Department of Communication Rutgers University 4 Huntington Street New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Email: bunz@scils.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------
Kris: On the Mac, use http://www.miennetwork.com/software/screenrecord.html or http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/utilities/snapzprox/ These are the best two out of about half a dozen freeware and shareware programs available. Best wishes, --u At 13:17 Uhr -0400 2.10.2003, Ulla Bunz wrote:
