THE ONLINE CLASSROOM CASE STUDY
The Online Classroom
Technology - computer applications, the web, electronic white boards, and more - has become an ever more useful tool in teaching, even in disciplines that themselves have little to do with the apparatus of modern living. But as more and more of your lecture content takes on the ephemeral form of a computer screen, how can you reliably capture the sessions for review or reuse? ScreenWatch is the educator's choice for recording, playback and Internet streaming of computer screen activity. ScreenWatch recordings are easy to create and publish, even if you're not a technical expert - and your students will appreciate they don't need to track down and install special software to view your recordings. And there's no need to sacrifice quality for ease-of-use - ScreenWatch's one-button record and publish capabilities produce professional-grade recordings. ScreenWatch is a great match for diverse academic environments, with support for streaming from Windows, Solaris, and Linux servers.

ScreenWatch: Lecture Notes For The Computer Age
ScreenWatch is the ideal solution for capturing, in full motion and color, everything that happens on a computer screen. Computer applications, web sites, PowerPoint presentations, multimedia products like Flash - the limits are endless. An easy-to-use Wizard steps you through setup - then, just click on a button to start the capture - then proceed with your lecture. Synchronized audio captures your insights and observations - even video if that's desired. When you're finished, stop recording and ScreenWatch will automatically publish the material to a web server. From there, you can archive the material, make it available to students or colleagues, or use it as part of other multimedia presentations.

Capabilities

• ScreenWatch is the first software application capable of capturing computer screen activity, recording it, and streaming across the Internet with industry-standard technologies. It's the perfect solution for educators who need to capture computer activity during lectures and presentations for later playback and streaming.
  
  
• Anybody can use it - a simple Wizard walks you through the steps needed to setup and start recording screen content, audio, and video. Sharing the results of your efforts is also easy with one-button publishing that automatically places your work on a web server. We've even provided for automatic recording of on-screen PowerPoint presentations and white board sessions. If you do have multimedia production experience, you'll appreciate that it's easy to integrate your recordings into other presentations using SMIL and RealSystem or Windows Media.



• It satisfies your audiences' inherent requirement for high quality screen recording results - people today are media savvy, and no matter the venue they expect to see professionally prepared presentations. ScreenWatch provides the highest quality screen recordings available. It accurately captures screen colors, mouse movements and application animations exactly as they appeared when recorded - your student sees exactly what you want them to see. Even better, unlike alternative solutions, ScreenWatch requires no special player or system software on your student's computer - anyone with a RealPlayer or Windows Media Player can begin interacting with your program immediately.



• Seamless integration with the academic computing environment - ScreenWatch provides you native streaming support for industry standard RealNetworks and Microsoft Windows Media software. RealNetworks media content can be streamed over a wide range of platforms, including Windows NT/2000, HP UX, and Linux - so you can continue to use the technology you already know. There's no need to distribute - and maintain - special players or system software. With support for SMIL, you can easily incorporate ScreenWatch recordings into other presentations.
