amtasia

Camtasia Studio and Camtasia for Mac are software suites for creating video tutorials and presentations directly by screen capture (screen video capture), or via a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint created and published by TechSmith. The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated in the Camtasia Studio component of the product. Both versions of Camtasia started as

enhanced screen capture programs and have evolved to integrate screen capture and post processing tools targeted at the educational and information multimedia development marketplace. Camtasia Studio receives high marks from professional reviewers and individual users alike. It is one of the most capable, integrated screen capture and editing packages. However, the per user license fee is relatively high for this category of software. Camtasia Studio v8 for Microsoft Windows consists of two major components:

Camtasia Recorder - a separate tool for capturing screen audio and video Camtasia Studio editor - the component for which the entire product is named, which is now a multimedia authoring tool with the industry standard "timeline" interface for managing multiple clips in a stacked track form plus enhancements summarized below.

Features:
Camtasia Recorder
In Camtasia Recorder, the presenter is able to start and stop recording with a hotkey combination at any time, at which point the recording may be halted and resumed or Camtasia Recorder can render the input that has been captured into a CAMREC format. The CAMREC file may be saved to disk or directly imported into the Camtasia Studio component for editing. Camtasia Recorder allows audio recording while screen-capturing is in progress, so the presenter can capture live narrate during a demonstration or presentation. Camtasia also supports dubbing in other audio tracks or voiceover during postcapture editing. Within Camtasia Studio editor one may import multimedia objects of various formats into the clip library and then arrange them in time order and stacked tracks using the timeline form of user controls that is so common among video editors today. Overlays of various types may be added including user-defined settings, such as when and how to display the cursor, pan-andzoom effects such as the Ken Burns effect. Camtasia Studio v8 and Camtasia Mac v2 offer numerous options to enhance sections of the recorded screen to draw attention via a cursor or drawn in pointer to highlight section(s) of the screen or to better illustrate the actions of the presenter on screen.

uizlet
Quizlet is an online learning tool created by high school sophomore Andrew Sutherland in Albany, California. It was originally conceived in October 2005 and released to the public in January 2007. As of January 2014, Quizlet has over 35 million user-generated flashcard sets and more than 11 million registered users.

Quizlet began as an idea conceptualized by 15-year-old Andrew Sutherland when he was assigned by his French teacher to memorize 111 animal names. After realizing the daunting task of mechanical memorization, Sutherland sat down to write code for a program to aid him in memorization. However, these first lines of code were scrapped and then rewritten meticulously and carefully over the course of 420 days by Sutherland. In January 2007, Quizlet was released to the public. In November 2009, Dave Margulius who worked with Sutherland as an investor and advisor for Quizlet since 2007, was named CEO of Quizlet. Sutherland remained the President of Quizlet and CTO. In addition to hiring CEO Dave Margulius, Sutherland also announced the opening of Quizlet's office in San Francisco. In January 2009, Quizlet announced that they hired their first full-time developer and product manager, Phil Freo. Andrew Sutherland, the creator of Quizlet said "I'm very excited about this because Phil is a talented developer and can really help step up the pace of innovation at Quizlet." Sutherland also mentioned that in 2010 there will be many cool features and products that will be directly from Phil's work. Andrew also spoke about the future of Quizlet "We're finally going to launch an upload-to Quizlet images feature in the next few days. We're also going to restart our work on getting the Quizlet interface translated into multiple versions, which I've been wanting to do for a long time. And a lot of you have asked about iPhone and other mobile devices, to which I say we're still working on it, but it's one thing we really want to focus on this year." Also Andrew stated his goal for Quizlet "Overall, our goal is to grow Quizlet as big as we can this year. We want to reach as many students as possible, because we think Quizlet is great and could be helpful to a lot more students." In February 2010, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Plus", which gives the user the ability to upload and add his or her own images to flash cards. This plan also gives the user the ability to create unlimited groups and no ads are displayed on the pages. Quizlet Plus costs $15 a year. In March 2010, Quizlet launched a new design of the set page. The goal of the new design was to make the set page more intuitive and more visually appealing. The major change that the site made to the set page was to get rid of the Familiarize mode and build it right into the set page itself. After the new design was launched an update was made to add a button that will shuffle the flashcards that are built into the set page.

In January 2011, Quizlet launched text-to-speech audio in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In February 2011, Quizlet's user interface was translated by a team of volunteer users into additional languages, including German and French. In April 2011, Quizlet surpassed 5 million flashcard sets. Also in April 2011, Founder/President of Quizlet LLC Andrew Sutherland announced he was taking a leave from his education at MIT, in order to work at Quizlet full-time. In July 2012, Quizlet LLC released version 1.0 of the iPhone app Quizlet. In January 2013, the iPhone app Quizlet was updated to version 1.1.1. The current version is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. It is optimized for iPhone 5 and iOS6 and iOS7. The current size is 5.6 MB. In September 2013, Quizlet released an Android app which had features similar to the iPhone app

Features:
Study modes As a memorization tool, Quizlet lets registered users create "sets" of terms customized for their own needs. These sets of terms can then be studied under several study modes. Flash Cards Known officially as 'Flash Cards' on Quizlet's website, this mode is shown automatically on the set's main page. It is basically a simple flash card study method. One side of the card is shown, and clicking on the "Click to flip" button which shows the other side of the card. The option is available to show both sides and this option will divide the screen in two with the term and definition shown on the same page. Another option is available to see the Flash Cards feature in full screen. If you wanted to shuffle the order of the flash cards, this option is also available. Learn In this mode, users are either prompted with the term or definition and is prompted to define the other. Terms/definitions that are incorrectly defined are recycled until the user gets it correct, making this mode of study very effective.

Speller In this mode, the user is to type what they hear from an automated text-to-speech voice. The user types the answer and if they get it correct, they move onto the next answer. If they get it wrong, however, the program will tell you it's wrong and spell it for you and tell you to type the term again in its proper spelling.You must type the word 2 times before you have fully learned it. Test The "Test" mode lets users create randomly generated tests through selecting options to customize a test so that the test may be composed, for instance, only of multiple choice questions and matching questions. You have a choice of 4 different types of questions on the test: Matching, Multiple Choice, True/False, or Written Answer. These types of questions can be arranged in any combination you want. Scatter This mode is a matching game where terms and definitions are randomly scattered around the screen. The goal is to match terms with their appropriate definitions in the least amount of time possible. It also helps with your memory. Microscatter This mode is similar to "Scatter", however you don't have to move the cards, which is similar to a regular matching game. High scores aren't saved and you must have the link by adding "/microscatter" to the end of the URL. Space Race "Space Race" is a mode that allows players to test their typing skills while memorizing. The object of this mode is to type the matching word or definition before a scrolling word or definition leaves the screen. Voice Space Race This mode of study is only available for terms that only contain letters and is developed in association with Spoken Language Systems (SLS), a branch of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. When a definition is provided, the user speaks the term and voice recognition software determines if the spoken term is correct. "Voice race" has been discontinued and it is unknown when it will be available again.

Gravity This mode is similar to "Space Race". The definitions move across the screen, but you lose if you miss a word on a "meteor". Similarly to Microscatter, you have to add "/gravity" to the end of the URL.
