Camtasia Studio 8 does have a pretty solid quizzing feature (<a href="http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-8-quizzing-1.html" rel="nofollow">tutorial here</a>) that can do that. You would need to host the videos on Screencast.com or your own server, though, since YouTube doesn't support that kind of interactivity.<br /><br />A low-tech method some teachers use to do this is to add a link near the video to a Google form with a question or two that students must complete as a quick comprehension check.<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />Daniel Foster<br />social media guy, TechSmithFosteronomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088525996189110590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633207196950574566.post-33286111046982923622012-08-13T18:08:51.469-07:002012-08-13T18:08:51.469-07:00Camtasia is pretty easy to learn...the tutorials a...Camtasia is pretty easy to learn...the tutorials are awesome! <br /><br />I agree about the sharing between teachers. I hear people talk about teacher who won't collaborate/share...I think it's crazy. Why are we teachers?

I recently set up a meeting with the head of our tech department. I'd been told by many people that we could not get wireless in our classrooms, and that I wouldn't be able to have a 'bring your own device' policy. Well I met with him, explained the flipped classroom (which he loved) and boom, wireless port in my classroom. <br /><br />Its not always that easy but your post reminded me that one of the great things about being an educator is sharing. I think we spend so much time looking online for resources and wishing we had things, sometimes all it takes is asking. Thanks for reminding me!<br /><br />What have you found the learning curve to be with Camtasia? I currently use Screen-cast-o-matic since its what is in my budget, but am debating on purchasing this with my classroom budget next year (I'd love to be able to zoom in on things). I'm just wondering how long it would take me to redo all my videos.<br /><br />Elizabeth Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892163109013159928noreply@blogger.com
