This week was focused around Camtasia and the creation of videos using pre recorded audio. The process involves going through the process described in the script in Solidworks (or whatever software is described) and recording the process. The screen recording is then synced with the audio to make it appear that the narrator is completing the lesson. It was extremely important to perform fluid mouse movements and make sure there were no mistakes or issues with the lesson. Below is a screenshot of what the Camtasia interface looks like: The CSWA (certified Solidworks associate) exam is used to certify ones Solidworks expertise. Similar to a degree, it allows companies to assure someone's knowledge in Solidworks. One of the goals of my internships here at Solidprofessor is to achieve the CSWA status. I have just created my Solidprofessor account and spend Fridays preparing for the exam. Meeting Michelle. This Wednesday I was able to meet with Michelle, the director of public relations at Solidprofessor. I wanted to see what kind of work she completed here, and what kind of hats she wore to work in PR at within small business. It turned out to be very similar to what I did on my Robotics team. She primarily focuses on two aspects of public relations, credibility and expansion. She explained how marketing plays a huge role in building credibility, but in her situation doesn't really assist in getting new clients. Drawing that line between credibility and expansion isn't always easy, but it is essential for their marketing strategy. This week ended with a taste of what Week 6 will be like. My mentor is in the process of creating a new lesson for Solidworks Simulation. The tool is used to simulate scenarios to test if the part will function properly without deforming before possibly wasting materials on its creation. Put simply, I was given scripts that have not yet been voiced over, and told to create the video for the lesson. I have a few more lessons to complete, and it is rather challenging working without a video example of what the lesson should look like.
