[Air-L] Screen casting software recommendations?

[Tromble, R.K.]

Dear Jackie,

I've had a lot of luck with Screencast-O-Matic (http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/). Despite the clunky name, it's very user-friendly, and though there is a free version, the "Pro" subscription is inexpensive: just 15USD for one year. 

I used to use Camstudio, but had to give up on it a couple of years ago when it indeed become infested with malware. I've also used Adobe Captivate. It's powerful but expensive and isn't nearly as user-friendly as Screencast-O-Matic.

Hope that helps!

Hi Everyone,

I¹m looking for screen-casting software recommendations for pcs  for
students to install on their own computers. (I have Quicktime for my mac
users) I have looked online.  Camtasia at US$300 is too expensive for the 45
minutes per computer I need.  I need something easy to use, similar to
Quicktime that is easily/quickly installed and easy to use.

 Camstudio seems to have malware issues according to several searches and
comments in this PC World article I found.
