Minitab demos

[dennis roberts]

there is some nice screen capture software located at:

http://www.techsmith.com

snagit ... camtasia ...

you can download for free for 30 days and try

that makes it easy to capture some screen output (from software) like minitab ... and add audio ... these make avi files ... yes, rather large but, seems like a really nice way to make some demos for class and other purposes ... if people are connected to a network ... no problem

you as the creator can then store at a web location for download ... or burn to a cd that students and others can use, etc.

here is ONE quick example ... done for my class today ... it could be polished up of course so, just take it as a quick demo to show the potential of this

go to

http://roberts.ed.psu.edu/users/droberts/introstat/

scroll down to powgraphs.avi ... and click

WARNING: IT IS ABOUT 5 MEGS!

if you have something like windows media player ... it should open automatically after it has fully downloaded

WHEN IT STARTS ... CHANGE THE view TO full screen ... and, make sure your audio is on

this is output as one example from a macro i have for minitab ... that will draw overlapping distributions for a simple power problem ... and calculates power and beta

more info on this macro can be found at:
