About the Author

David B. Demyan is an instructional designer and screencast producer, busy delivering courses to organizations and developing e-learning materials for clients. Using Camtasia Studio since the early days of the product's release, he was hired by TechSmith to author the help system that accompanies the software. With each Camtasia Studio release, he gained expertise in using every feature. He has hosted training classes for industry, government, and educational organizations showing how to use Camtasia Studio to teach or inform.

Over the past 10 years, he has specialized in e-learning consultation. As the owner of Spectorial Corporation, he produces and guides others in the creation of software system e-learning materials using rapid development tools, such as Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, Captivate, and Audacity. The author's unique Show me, Try it, and Quiz me approach to teaching has earned high praise from both clients and the e-learning industry.

He offers hands-on training in using Camtasia Studio for e-learning, with this book as the primary text and additional resource. He can be reached at http://www.spectorial.com.
