Screen recording

In classes or research collaborations, you may need to demonstrate how to perform certain computer tasks such as, creating a Figure in Excel, contributing to a Moodle forum, or searching for journal articles in a discipline-specific database. While doing these demonstrations, you could use screen recording software to record your actions and then make these videos available to students and research assistants for review at a later time.  Even though there are  more full-featured programs out there, Mac users who upgrade to Snow Leopard will now be able to use QuickTime Player to do screen recording as demonstrated in the following video.
