[ATTW-L] Recommendations on usability/UX software?

[Pam Estes Brewer]

I’ll add to Jonathan’s post.  We have Morae at Mercer and don’t need all of the affordances most of the time. In addition, Techsmith is no longer updating Morae, so I think the last update was in 2011.

Recently, I and my students have used Zoom, which has affordances very similar to those of GoToMeeting.  With Zoom, if you save your recording to the cloud, you also get a text transcript with the audio, video, and screen recording.  In addition, Zoom and GoToMeeting enable remote testing, and Morae does not.

Best,
Pam

Usedtabe, the standard answer was Morae, but you don't really need that much firepower. I recently spoke with a UX pro who recommended GoToMeeting. It works on desktop, tablet, and mobile; you can record the user's screen while viewing the stream on your own computer; and the program outputs MP4 files. Plus, the pricing is reasonable; the basic version is $14 a month, and the "pro" version with unlimited recording is $29 a month.

Good morning, hive mind:

At my institution, we are proposing to buy usability/UX software tools for our computer lab. We are hoping to capture, in real time, how students approach high-stakes tests, how students and faculty write, and how patients interact with health education materials online.

Any recommendations on usability/UX software tools?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
