Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that this format has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

Our virtual learning Camtasia courses cater for classes of up to 10 and your learners benefit from full and immersive interaction with the trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via live video conferencing that's enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

Notes: Camtasia Terminology in Layman's Terms

1) Simply put, a keyframe is a marker used in video editing software to define where an action such as a transition, effect, animation or a peice of audio for instance, should begin and end. Keyframes are also used to set the start and stop points for changes to volume, opacity or the motion of an object as other examples.

2) In Camtasia, the Playhead allows you to select a precise point in your timeline, allowing you to preview objects in your project frame-by-frame. As you move the Playhead across your timeline it will "snap" to positions along the timeline unless Playhead Snapping is disabled.

3) The ".camrec file" extension is one used for recordings on some older legacy versions of Camtasia. The newer file extension is ".trec" (for both Windows and Mac). ".tscproj" is the file extension for a Camtasia Project.

4) Screencasting is simply the capturing of audio and video from your computer screen (and microphone), often in order to create a walk through of the steps for a tutorial which you can later use in your learning content.
