There are many times when I need to quickly create and share some narrated slides with my students in lieu of or outside of class. Whether it was because of a snow day or because a student missed a class session, I’ve used a number of different tools to create audio or video recordings of slide presentations. QuickTime Recorder, Screenflow, or Camtasia all work well as screen capture tools. They each offer a different level of customization and flexibility for recording what’s on your screen, and potentially video of the speaker as well.
A new free download from Microsoft called Office Mix offers some interesting potential benefits for faculty in creating and sharing screen casts. Office Mix is a free plug-in for PowerPoint 2013 on the Windows platform that enables not only screen recording, but also some interactive quiz features that can serve to make the content more interactive for students.
Please check out the quick demo video below to see if Office Mix might meet your needs for online or blended courses.
