Screencasting

I’m working on screencasting class for later this month. We’ll be using Wink for the hands on portion. Free was a good incentive! Just curious what other people are using these days? Which package do you prefer? Why?

Saw this on LISNews today. Techsmith is offering a free download of an older version of Camtasia Studio (version 3). Their free downloads usually expire after a 30 day trial, but now they’re offering a free registration key to install it for good. If you do want to upgrade to the latest version, you’ll be eligible for a half price upgrade ($149). Details from DownloadSquad.

A couple of years ago, I took a course on Camtasia (through IWA/HWG). The class was terrific and so was the software. I think we were using this older version. I’ve already installed this free version and look forward to comparing it with Wink, another screencasting option (free and open-source). And for $149, I might just upgrade to the newest version of Camtasia.

In any case, this free version is a good deal.
