Tools for Creating Screencasts
Revision as of 05:50, 3 May 2007 by Wiki-Punkish (talk | contribs) (Tools of Trade moved to Tools for Creating Screencasts: disambiguation)
The following tools can be used by educators in creating screencasts.
NOTE: why is proprietary software advertised in this wiki?
Yes, some of the tools listed below are commercial and proprietary. This list is not an endorsement of these tools but merely a convenient list for those looking for such tools. Since these tools are not geospatial, they don't conflict with the "Geo" portion of OSGeo. In any case, OSGeo should not be opposed to proprietary tools but should be a proponent for the best available tools. Please, by all means, use open source, libre tools for creating screencasts if they are available.
