Time: 6-7 hours
Tools:
This shows the YouTube version becasue my trial of Captivate expired.
This video teaches my students how to create two kinds of paths for their board game projects. Which they are currently working on.
I put about 6-7 hours into this. I suspect I could have done it faster with better planning. In the first round of videos, I made videos too long and hadn't really grasped how it would all fit together. When I made them again I focused each on a specific skill and kept them shorter.
The video is about using Adobe Illustrator. I also used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Captivate. I used a Blue Snowball microphone to capture my audio.
This was a fast boot camp for me in Captivate. I learn software pretty quickly and started to understand how some of the videos in the Environmental Scan part of this unit were put together. I also began to consider how to use Captivate to make much stronger tutorials with longer lasting learning. I wasn't aware that Captivate has its own screen capture utility, and in some ways it is easier and more intuitive than Captivate. However, I had trouble generating a .swf file that would play properly, and the version I sent to YouTube does not have the interactive elements. In addition, I found that Captivate cut more off the end of my videos than expected. In the future I'll take this into account when making and editing videos for Captivate.
Once I got it wrong a few times, I decided to focus on specific tasks in Adobe Illustrator. I wrote some questions first, then made videos to answer those questions. After I shot each video I went into the timeline
All content was my own with the exception of the bitmap image of the lily pad used to demonstrate that bitmap images can't be used to create brushes, which comes from Clipart Kid.
