Summary
This short, Camtasia tutorial software functionality video shows users how to navigate a simulated business case interview developed in Storyline 360 for an eLearning startup.
Challenge
The main e-Learning course simulates a business case interview. A business case interview is a problem-solving interview that business consulting candidates (users) and other business professionals take as part of the hiring process. The course allows candidates to practice solving a timed, business case interview and provides naturally occurring intrinsic feedback. The candidates need to know how to use the functionality in the course, so they can concentrate on the solving the business case.
Solution
Develop a short, Camtasia tutorial software functionality video that outlines the basic functions and navigation elements of the business case interview eLearning course.
Instructional Design of Camtasia Tutorial Software Functionality Video
The video uses a straightforward, tutorial approach. The video presents text, audio and animation content to the user about how to perform specific tasks in the course. This approach is suitable for this activity because the user only needs a simple, brief explanation to continue the course.
Development of Camtasia Tutorial Software Functionality Video
The development follows the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation) model. 1) Analysis: Review the functionality of the course and document the steps. 2) Design: Craft a storyboard and write the narration script. 3) Development: Record the software navigation tasks using Camtasia. Create the text-to-speech narration in Storyline 360. Insert the narration audio files into Camtasia. Publish the video file and insert the WMP file into Storyline 360 course. 4) Implementation: Publish the course to LearnDash LMS. 6) Evaluation: Client measures feedback from audience regarding its usefulness.
Visual Design of Camtasia Tutorial Software Functionality Video
Design the color and style of the visual elements (annotations and text) to match the client’s brand colors and Storyline 360 course template.
