TechSmith Camtasia Relay to Go Campus Wide at Drexel
TechSmith has announced that Drexel University will be
deploying Camtasia Relay, the company's popular lecture capture and
presentation solution, campus wide. More than 1,500 faculty and administrators
will be able to use the lecture recording and sharing system, potentially
providing the university's 20,000 students access to recordings. Drexel's
Associate Vice President of Instructional Technology Mike Scheuermann commented
on the upcoming technology deployment: "The seamless integration with our
Drexel-developed 'DragonDrop' encoding, publishing, and syndication system was
a key factor for us, and that integration is a credit to the strong
Drexel-TechSmith collaboration. We are confident that Camtasia Relay will
enable instructors to do more, more easily..." Camtasia Relay is
TechSmith's newest lecture capture and presentation product. Drexel had
originally used Camtasia Relay selectively on campus when it was in beta, and now
the university will begin its expansion of the product throughout the entire
campus. Staff training is already underway, but the system is specifically
designed to make the process easy and quick to learn, and flexible for
conditions encountered at various classroom, conference room, or other
recording locations. Presenters and lecturers may use either Macintosh or PC
platforms.
