Acquired NVivo 7 for qualitative data analysis.

Acquired SnagIt (v5) via Nottingham.ac.uk for screen capture.

Currently testing out screen/audio capture softwares for Windows/PC for interview data collection.

A good compare and contrast site if you’re sourcing similar packages is:

Meanwhile, here in The Dearing Building it’s a blow by blow battle; CamStudio freeware:

  • http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/
    “CamStudio records activity from your screen and audio from a microphone into AVI video files and can also convert the AVIs into Streaming Flash videos (SWFs) using its built-in SWF Producer”.

Vs. Camtasia and SnagIt on 30 day trial…:

  • http://www.techsmith.com/
    40 ways to capture content from Windows, such as video, images, text, and more. SnagIt can also capture the full screen, a window, a rectangular region. Cursor image and audio can be included.
