Welcome to ANTS!
The Animated Tutorial Sharing Project (ANTS) is a collaborative project presently involving librarians in Canada and the United States, but open to librarians elsewhere. The goal of the project is to create a shared repository of library, research, and information literacy tutorials created using screencast software such as Adobe Captivate, Qarbon Viewlet Builder, Techsmith's Camtasia Studio , or similar products. Tutorials contributed to the ANTS project are made publicly available for use by all libraries via our affiliated sites: LION TV and Screencast.com . Editable Source code is also available from our DSpace repository for those who wish to add their own brands, local links, etc.

I'm following Richard's lead here, and starting a thread for all things Captivate. I'm currently using Captivate 3. I've got some experience incorporating video, captioning, and javascript into Captivate projects. I'm also interested in exploring the use of branching scenarios to create self guided tutorials, in the style of the Choose Your Own Adventure series (I loved those books!). Feel free to hit me up with any questions you have about Captivate!

I have been using Camtasia Studio 5 (and upgrade) since last May. I've learned to use callouts, quizzes, click to continue and producing to .swf, avi and flv. I've also gotten an account at toofast.ca that allows me to embed a link to a feedback survey.
Anyone who is starting with Camtasia, feel free to contact me via this wiki. Richard |

Hi everyone, my library has developed several tutorials in house aimed at students in particular courses, at the request of our faculty. I know many vendors including Ebsco and Credo Reference have their own resource sections and tutorials within the databases themselves.
I was wondering how many of you utilize resources from the vendor as opposed to creating your own tutorial? Do you point students to a mix of both from your website? I figure some believe there is no sense in "reinventing the wheel" while others like to create their own so they can "brand" the tutorial and include their logo, contact info, etc. Any thoughts? |
