The OTS Emerging Technology Series is designed to share new and evolving technologies with the Towson community. These technologies are identified for their potential to enhance or improve the educational experience of students and the instructional experiences of faculty and staff. Most workshops are presented by Towson faculty innovators. Past sessions have led cross-campus faculty collaborations, grants and publications.

Emerging Technologies – Record Voice and Screen Capture Easily with Jing

Jing is free software for capturing and sharing whatever action is happening on your computer screen along with voice narration. These captures can be done anywhere you have a computer, microphone and headset or speakers. The major limitation of Jing is that these captures are limited to five minutes. Jing also provides a quick and easy screen capture tool.
In this workshop will use Jing to create recordings with narration and screen captures.
