Goal No. 3
"Increase the interactivity of online learning material by incorporating quizzing into a presentation created with Camtasia."
I have been using Camtasia for over a year now and I really like the versatility and extra pizazz it can bring to an audio visual presentation or online lecture. If you didn't know, the latest version of Camtasia now offers a quizzing function. I've been very interested in learning how to use that function. Therefore, I decided to stop procrastinating and make one of my personal learning goals to do just that. I was actually going to hold off on this goal till the end of the semester (ha, ha - procrastination) to allow time to figure it out, however, the mood struck me sooner and now I have another goal down!
I created a three minute video related to chest tube drainage systems as a study aid for students. It not only includes eight multiple choice questions but I also decided to incorporate "hot spots" quizzing into the video. I found the quizzing function extremely easy to use. The hotspot function, not so much. Well, it wasn't that creating the hotspot itself was hard, it was all the planning and timing it took to make it function correctly and consistently. I also plan to learn to use Adobe Captivate later this semester and it may prove to be easier to use for creating "hot spot" quizzing. I'll let you know.
The best part about the quizzing function is the statistical reports you get back from Screencast.com regarding the use of the quiz. Check these screen captures out.
Check out the video Chest tube drainage systems and let me know what you think. Did you find it easy to use and do you think it will help students learn this material? I would really love your feedback. Thanks!
Hi Connie- it may be just me but when I click on the play button - I am not hearing anything. Am I suppose to?
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of quizzing. I have just learned how to use camtasia - literally today - so maybe I can learn this feature as well.
There is no sound in this video. I was going to add some voice over on the first slide but ran out of time. I will include that for next year's use. Thanks for checking it out!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the audio component would help, but the integrated assessment pieces are valuable as formative feedback. I liked that I could click on the answers to get feedback.
ReplyDeleteIn a few weeks, I'll be starting a project using Articulate and I'll show you what we put together for the same type of learning.
HIGH FIVE for jumping into a new skill.
