Screen casting software recommendations?
Hi Everyone, I¹m looking for screen-casting software recommendations for pcs for students to install on their own computers. (I have Quicktime for my mac users) I have looked online. Camtasia at US$300 is too expensive for the 45 minutes per computer I need. I need something easy to use, similar to Quicktime that is easily/quickly installed and easy to use. Camstudio seems to have malware issues according to several searches and comments in this PC World article I found. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2862985/how-to-create-and-distribute-an-instr uctional-screencast-video-for-free.html Appreciate any help, Jackie Militello | Hong Kong University | School of English
Dear Jackie, I've had a lot of luck with Screencast-O-Matic (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/). Despite the clunky name, it's very user-friendly, and though there is a free version, the "Pro" subscription is inexpensive: just 15USD for one year. I used to use Camstudio, but had to give up on it a couple of years ago when it indeed become infested with malware. I've also used Adobe Captivate. It's powerful but expensive and isn't nearly as user-friendly as Screencast-O-Matic. Hope that helps!

http://zoom.us might be worth looking at. It's free conferencing software, but allows screen sharing, and records to mp4. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 11:04 AM, Tromble, R.K. < r.k.tromble@fsw.leidenuniv.nl> wrote:
