Preparation of video lectures for distance education

Professional paper In this paper the application of the software product Camtasia Studio 8 and some developments of the authors when preparing video lectures for distance education are presented. The developed films are in several languages and are accessible in the Internet. Regular and part-time students may study them in details using a computer or a smartphone in time and place most convenient for them. The selected information in the video lectures is presented much faster and accurately compared to the traditional methods for teaching, which saves time. There are included animations with comments, simulations and inserted video clips to visualize the presented material.
