Presenter allows user to add narration to your slides. This can help your students more fully connect to that information. In this short course, you will learn how to use Adobe Presenter. Just as a picture can sometimes illustrate a point more effectively than text, video can often bring it to life. In this short course, you will learn how the use of video can improve your ability to clearly demonstrate course content such as the use of software or live footage. Camtasia Studio allows you to produce tutorials so that students with high or low bandwidth can access content without difficulty. You will get a chance to create high quality narrated presentations and learn of several ways that your files can be prepared for online delivery. |
