Recording

What works... 

Prior to starting a recording it is best practice to create a script making sure to capture all the important points of the lecture or demonstration.  

Suggestion:

1. Open Word
2. Add a table with two columns and rows
3. Enter the place you are in the lecture in the left column (notes to yourself), and what you want to cover in the right column for example: 

Click on Record	Thank you for attending this lecture on creating a recording...
Go to PowerPoint	Let's start with...

 

 

 

Tip: If you are working from a Power Point this might be more trouble than it is worth, however it comes in handy in other instances. 

 

Ready Start...

When you press the Record button, the recorder will begin by communicating to the server. You can also record off line, but need to download the offline recorder. When you see the Pause button next to the Record button, you are live and whatever you say or is on your screen will now be captured.

Use the Pause button when moving from place to place, example: you need to move to another window to show a different document, Pause your recording and start again when you are setup the way you would like. (Tip: I find that when I lose my train of thought if I quickly hit pause it gives me a breathing space that is not recorded) 

The record timer will continue to run but you are no longer recording. Remember to press Record once you are ready to start again.
