Actually, the original name I gave to the recording module for VULab was Remote Activity Capture (RAC). Yes, emphasizing remote is critical because, although snapshots of the user's screen are stored locally, they are automatically uploaded to the VULab server and then deleted locally. They are then turned into video on the server. We avoided the use of "capture" in the name because there are so many capture programs around and this one is fundamentally different. I suppose you could say that the RAC is a "screen scraper". Any other thoughts on the name? Ron Owston
