Titre de la communication :	Using a Computer Screen as a Whiteboard while Recording the Lecture as a Sound Movie
Résumé de la communication :
The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate the process of using a laptop computer screen as a whiteboard, while, at the same time, recording all screen activity, and everything that is being said, as a sound movie. The result is a clear, complete, and reliable set of lecture notes that the students can pick up from the instructor's web site, and also a complete movie record of the actual proceedings of the classroom. When viewing a movie, students have the option to pause it at any time while they collect their thoughts; or they can pull the cursor back and forth to view the specific parts of the movie that are most important to them. The movie recording of each lecture, and other course materials, are made available on a CD which is duplicated in a CD copier, and is ready to be picked up by the students very soon after the lecture ends. Lecture material is written with Scientific Workplace or Scientific Notebook which combine the advantage of a dynamically produced clear and complete set of lecture notes with instant access to a computer algebra system. The movie is created, either with the recording utility in Camtasia Studio by TechSmith, or by ScreenCorder 4 by Matchware. Then the CD is mastered by the MenuMaker utility in Camtasia Studio and, within minutes, a complete, friendly self-contained CD has been mastered and can be carried to the instructor's CD copy machine. The presentation will demonstrate how these software products can be used to produce the results that have been described here, and will discuss the advantages of giving students the option of duplicating the actual lecture room experience rather than merely reading a set of lecture notes. The URL below gives an example of a sound movie on an elementary mathematical topic. The download is about 44 megabytes. Press alt + enter to show or hide the cursor while the movie is playing.
