Digital learning becomes so much more interesting, in my opinion, when an instructor begins to box-off, underline, and circle text and visuals on the screen with a virtual chalk or marker.
I’m going to record my screen with a voice-over soon. What software, though, enables me to transfer the marker/chalk experience to a digital setting? (I use Windows, by the way).
I use Camtasia for that, but most screen captures can do annotations like that.
When I was setting up to record my screen with a voice-over, I wanted that same interactive marker effect you mentioned. I found that software like Camtasia and OBS Studio with plugins worked great for this purpose on Windows. Camtasia offers built-in features for adding annotations, shapes, and highlights directly onto your screen recordings. For a free option, OBS Studio can be paired with tools like Epic Pen to draw and highlight during recording. Both options provided a dynamic way to emphasize text and visuals, making the content more engaging and clear.
Students master this,
Having a specialized tool can give you better control and precision when making annotations. experimenting with various software options can help you find the one that best fits your workflow and preferences.
