1. Go to pbwiki.com and make a new educational wiki. The naming scheme I use is ucf-aaa1111 where aaa1111 is the course name and number. It will then set up your wiki and you will have immediate access to it. After the wiki is created they will send you all sorts of info about "how to" do things in the wiki, but it is not terribly difficult and I have lots of experience as do many of my grad students so we will be able to help you.

2. Record any lectures you want to embed in your class with Camtasia. I record at 1024x768 resolution and encode at that same resolution. This works very well. Once you have created your video you can add all the cool stuff, like Pan & Zoom, Callouts, etc... I know this looked really fancy on the video I showed you - but it is really trivial to do with Camtasia.

3. After you have produced your video you must encode it. I always encode to wmv format in the same resolution I encoded it. I use high quality audio and video settings and I do not create "chapters" or all he extra stuff Camtasia can do. Good news is that if want to do that later or encode in a different format, well - it is all there for you to do.

4. I then upload the encoded file to the hyperion server. Once it is there I can embed it in the wiki.

5. To embed it in the wiki - go to "Classic" or "source" view and use this magic html
