Evolving as a digital teacher: Tools of the trade (Part 6)

A sample video of the many videos I have done and put up on Youtube for my classes. Note that this is the only second video I have listed as 'public' with the DWU logo. All these videos for my classes with the DWU logo are 'unlisted' so only students have access to them. I do not monetize these videos and they are the property of DWU (by contractual agreement 😃).

Note: I don't have the best tools nor do I have the best room space/setup but I make the most of what I have.
 
📌 I use a Logitech Webcam for video and audio.
📌I do screen capture & editing using Camtasia. This handy tool has the capability to cancel out noise (requires a tweak). Get the 2020 version here.
📌Sometimes the live streams on the FB groups are done using OBS Studio (an open-source broadcasting software).
📌Graphics and video thumbnails are created using a site called canva.com
📌I use EpicPen to do the on-screen annotations.
📌I download non-copyright music for the background from tons of sites online. 
(Mind you several of my videos have landed me on copyright strikes because music downloaded and used without permission, so be careful when you use music from online and upload to Youtube)

Integrate Camtasia Studio with Moodle


It has been a while since I last posted any tutorial here. Been very busy with work and family that I wasn't able to write something. However, I did get to participate in a very enlightening course over the course of three weeks on teaching online.

It was through this course that I started to assist the facilitator teach some of my colleagues on how to use Camtasia. Camtasia is a great screen capture tool. I shall not go into the details of the software as there is tonnes of info on their website (a simple Google search would do) but I would like to share a tutorial I wrote on how to integrate Camtasia with Moodle. Moodle is an open source LMS with a huge support its community of users. You can find more about Moodle here
