Iıve used Silverback & Camtasia. Silverback is pretty dead simple and nice and cheap. Camtasia needs a bit more configuration, but it works just as well. The one issue that I did not expect to run into using Silverback is how many users (students, especially, oddly enough) were unfamiliar with using a Mac. It made usability testing a bit tricky, since they were apprehensive about even using the trackpad. ³How do I go back?² ³You press the back button, just as you would in Firefox on a PC.² That kind of thing. I definitely didnıt expect that. -Sean Sean Hannan Senior Web Developer Sheridan Libraries Johns Hopkins University On 2/27/14, 1:06 PM, "Mary E.
