Yes, I'm doing similar with Camtasia, which I find an excellent product. I burn them onto CD though, to send out to distance students.

A first attempt (still being developed) can be found at: http://www.lbsonline.ac/ddbx-tutor/ This particular example was for foreign tutors and UK moderators coordinating and responding to students. For those unfamiliar with the program "Captivate", there are a number of options, but one is via screen grabs which are then manipulated with additions of call outs etc. Output is a Flash file, plus Word if needed. There are also some accessibility options. Does not take too long to produce simple instructions although I am sure there are some glitches that no doubt will emerge as we progress. Just wondered if anyone else out there was doing anything similar?
