*Presentation Topic: Hello Morae, Farewell VHS!*

Come learn about the benefits of using Morae, and learn how the different
components of the Morae Suite can work together for your different research
needs.

In early 2005, Intuit started using Morae from Techsmith to support
usability and customer experience lab activities. Joanna Sim and Emily
Hebard are user researchers at Intuit who currently use Morae to support
their research. They will present an introduction to Morae's capabilities
and will demonstrate how to use Morae through an interactive demo video.
They will also discuss how to avoid common pitfalls, techniques for
troubleshooting, and best practices to seamlessly adopt Morae at your user
research facility.

The Morae Suite allows you to record high-quality digital video/audio of
user research activities, automatically analyze data Morae captures (such as
keystrokes, mouse clicks, window events), as well as create video clips for
sharing and archiving.

*Emily Hebard* is a user researcher in Intuit's QuickBooks group. Prior to
working in the usability field, Emily taught courses designed to introduce
professionals and students to new technologies, including TechSmith's
Camtasia software and video editing software.
*Joanna Sim* is a user researcher in Intuit's Customer Centered Development
group. While Joanna was at the University of Toronto pursuing her bachelor's
of applied science in Industrial Engineering, she developed a passion for
human computer interaction is now pursuing her masters in Human Factors.
