Camtasia Enterprise is a screen video capture software for the Windows platform, published by TechSmith. For this project, we worked with TechSmith software engineers and product managers to develop a strategic and tactical plan for migrating the Camtasia product to the Mac OS X platform.
We focused on the usage in an educational context, specifically on recording lectures. Our group discussions and initial interviews with potential users have identified two different user groups: the content providers - professors - and the system administrators who give support to them. Having strict constraints on their time, professors required a simple "one button" interface to begin and end the recording with all other processes taking place in the background.
In order to understand the needs of potential users better and assess the restrictions on use, our team conducted a contextual inquiry for our project. After creating personas, scenarios, and a lo-fi paper prototype and conducting usability studies that employ those intermediate deliverables, our team was able to create and iterate over a hi-fi prototype, which was our final deliverable.
