OKEMOS, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Technology is an integral part of learning, with 78 percent of educators recently surveyed noting the proliferation of technology has had a net positive impact on education. In its dedicated effort to provide educators with the best screen capture and recording technology for learning, TechSmith Corporation has released a new product called ScreenChomp, a free app available exclusively on the iPad.
“ScreenChomp marks the launch of TechSmith Labs, an initiative to foster innovative solutions and receive valuable customer feedback to improve our existing applications”
ScreenChomp is a digital whiteboard that users can write and draw on with the touch of a finger, using twelve different colors. All activity on ScreenChomp can be easily recorded and edited through Camtasia for Mac or Camtasia Studio to create recorded lectures and instructional videos with a professional look and feel. The videos produced in ScreenChomp can be downloaded as MP4 files, making them easy to share on ScreenChomp.com, Facebook, YouTube, iTunes, Blackboard and other video hosting platforms.
ScreenChomp can make a significant impact on students’ learning and education, and further contribute to the flipped classroom model. It creates a 1-on-1 learning environment where students can move at their own pace and truly understand the material they’re being taught. The opportunity to reach them through technology – where they’re already heavily engrained – makes the learning process seamless and natural.
“ScreenChomp marks the launch of TechSmith Labs, an initiative to foster innovative solutions and receive valuable customer feedback to improve our existing applications,” said Jeremy Vanisacker, product manager at TechSmith. “TechSmith Labs will continue to expand, introducing more innovative ideas and solutions for TechSmith customers to use and provide feedback.”
