Introducing Smirk 2

We introduce a new open source windows based lecture capture solution called Smirk 2. We describe the motivations for writing the tool, a comparison with other such programs on the market, and explain the mechanism of downloading Smirk on to a machine, either to use or to amend it. It also proposes potential projects that could be built on top of the Smirk platform – and also offers a justification of why academics should be involved in the creation not just the use, of learning technology.
