Jing allows you to capture screen images, record video of what you do or see and to upload immediately to the Internet. You may also save the files directly to your hard disk. The uploading is currently being provided free of charge by Screencast - you must have an account with them to use this feature. This is likely to change in the near future. The .NET 3 framework must also be installed on your computer before you can use Jing.
This tool could prove very useful in an E-learning online environment where students are in contact with tutors as Tony Dunckel, the Jing Project Manager explains:
“Think of Jing as a supplement to all your chat discussions, email threads, forum posts and blog entries. It sits nicely on your desktop, ready to capture and share your stuff at a moment’s notice. Simply select an area of your screen, capture it as an image or record it as a video, and then click Share. Jing conveniently places a URL to your content on your clipboard ready for you to paste the URL into any of your conversations.”
