About CaptureSpace Lite:

CaptureSpace Lite is a screen, webcam, and audio recorder that is comparable to other software like TechSmith's Camtasia or Telestream's Screenflow.  Content creators can capture multi-stream webcam and audio inputs which are synchronized with a PowerPoint presentation or screen capture.  Once presentations are created, they can be automatically published and viewed through any D2L tool with an HTML Editor (Content, News, Discussion, Quizzes, Dropbox).  

The advantage of CaptureSpace Lite is it's ease of use and streamlined integration with D2L.  The disadvantage is it's limited editing capabilities.  While you can trim the beginning and end, or cut out a section in the middle of a recorded presentation, you can't re-record sections of the presentation.  CaptureSpace Lite is ideal for short, informal recordings that provide students with logistical information about the course, module overviews, project descriptions, software or website tutorials, or feedback on assignments.  In short, recordings that can be completed in one "take" without the need for extensive editing.

By default, CaptureSpace Lite in not available to students, however, instructors can *choose* to provide access to CaptureSpace Lite for course related media.  Instructors can give students access to CaptureSpace Lite, by following these instructions: http://uwmltc.org/?p=7860
