On October 15, 2015 the DLC hosted a workshop for MIIS students on using Camtasia software to create instructional videos and narrated presentations.  Many of the students in attendance were enrolled in the DPPG 8541 class, Leading Capacity Development.  Students learned how Camtasia could be used as a platform to create the final deliverable for the class; a professional video to be shared with International Development professionals in the field.

The workshop covered topics such as:

• Screen and audio capture
• Transitions, text, & animations
• Trimming footage & audio
• Exporting to Youtube/Midd Media
