Camtasia

Academic/instructional faculty have access to Camtasia by request. Camtasia is a recording and production platform that allows for advanced editing functionality. Camtasia is recommended for higher production-value projects such as lectures that you intend to reuse from semester to semester.

Zoom

The Zoom web conferencing platform features cloud and local recording options that capture your screen, voice, and image. Zoom is recommended as the tool for creating recordings of multiple people collaborating on a presentation, or as a simple standalone screen-recording mechanism if you are the only participant in the meeting. Zoom has the additional benefit of automated closed captioning for your cloud recordings.
