With video, she orients students on the first day of class, helps them through the technical learning curve, introduces new concepts, and delivers individual feedback on projects. "I've got a nice collection of movies that I can often reuse. And instead of downloading a lifeless PowerPoint file, students experience something much more like a live presentation." – Jean Kent, emeritus, North Seattle Community College Kids Teaching Kids—Mathtrain.com Eric Marcos teaches 6th Grade Math at Lincoln Middle School in Santa Monica, California. There, he operates Mathtrain.com, a website where he posts Camtasia Studio created video lessons. Sometimes, he even lets his students do the teaching. "Making mathcasts was very easy. All I did was do what I usually do on paper, but instead I put it on the computer and explained how I did each step." – ‘Bob’, 6th grader and mathcast pioneer Camtasia Studio and SCORM in the online classroom Professor Richard Campbell of Rio Grande University uses Camtasia Studio in his online teaching.

You can also generate the files needed to put your video on a webpage, Apple device, or send it to iDVD. SmartFocus TechSmith's exclusive SmartFocus technology keeps track of where the action happens during your recording. Then it produces a video that zooms in on the parts you need to show. Camtasia SmartFocus™ is ideal for videos where the source clip or recording dimensions are large (ex. full screen recording) and you want to produce the final video at smaller dimensions (ex. for the Web or an iPod). If you produce at dimensions smaller than the dimensions of the source clip, the content in the video may be too small and difficult to view. SmartFocus allows you to quickly change the video dimensions for different destinations. SmartFocus automatically generates Zoom-n-Pan keyframes to optimize viewing at any dimensions. SmartFocus collects data about the actions completed and the cursor movement in the recording. SmartFocus predicts where to add zoom effects, saving you time to manually find and insert all the frames to zoom or pan.
