    Resources for Creating a Case Study Course on Udemy

    This is a list of resources that I used to create my logo design course on Udemy that I talk about in the video. It also includes some alternatives that you can try out.

    Mind Mapping Software

    Mindmeister (Online and Mobile Devices):  Mindmeister is the software I use to do my mindmapping. It is a paid service, but if you look at the pricing page at the bottom there is a “Basic” option which is free and lets you make three mindmaps – www.mindmeister.com

    Alternative Free Mindmapping Software

    Skype Recording Software

    Skype itself is available free for both Mac and PC – www.skype.com

    Ecamm Call Recorder (Mac only): This is the software I use – www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder

    Pamela for Skype – (PC only): www.pamela.biz/en

    Evaer Audio and Video Recorder (PC only): www.evaer.com

    These Skype call recorders all have demo/trial versions so that you can try before you buy.

    Screen Recording Software

    Screenflow (Mac Only): This is the software I used for recording the screen and webcam, plus for editing the video -www.telestream.net/screen-flow

    Camtasia (Mac and PC): www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html

    Alternative Free Screen Recording Software

    Creating PDF Downloads

    You can create a pdf using most word processing software such as Microsoft Word. Create your document as usual then save or export as a PDF.

    Free Alternative to Microsoft Word

    • Open Office (Mac and PC). As well as a word processor, Open Office also includes presentation software similar to Powerpoint – www.openoffice.org
    • Neo Office (Mac only) – www.neooffice.org

    Royalty Free Images

    There are loads of websites that offer royalty free images cheaply or free

    Completely Free Images

    Make sure you double check the license before using the images – some may require a photographer credit.

    Low Cost Images

    Other Software

    Photo Editor: If you need a photo editor Gimp (Mac and PC) is available for free at – www.gimp.org

    If there is any other software you need, you can find opensource/free alternatives to most
