, 07:44, 1 March 2017→Creating a video resource using a screen-casting tool - RecordMyDesktop
Screen casting is also a very simple yet powerful way of creating a video resource. The RecordMyDesktop software records the computer output display as the video and audio. This can be used to record the functioning of a software or any educational application. In addition to the audio played on the computer as part of the running of the application, additional audio spoken and provided as an input to the computer can also be recorded as a part of the video. You can use RecordMyDesktop to create OER videos. Make sure you are not displaying copyright material on the screen when recording the video. If you record any copyright material in the video, it will be a copyright violation. Select <u>Applications → Sound & Video → RecordMyDesktop</u> to open Record My Desktop.
