You have various options for recording a presentation in Dr. D’s class! See below for options and for info on how to hand in your video.
Option: Record a Video on Your Phone
See below for info on how to hand in your video.
Option: Screencasting
If you want to use PowerPoint, Google Slides or your computer, you may try screencasting! Dr. D likes ScreencastOMatic. https://screencast-o-matic.com/
Once you make your Screencast video, upload it to Youtube and include a link in your assigned Canvas Discussion, or upload it to the Discussion yourself. Dr. D recommends YouTube so that your video is safely “in the cloud” – this way is easier for you to upload and for your classmates to watch.
Here are instructions about using ScreenCastOMatic from SFU CETL: https://sfucetl.weebly.com/uploads/9/6/7/1/96710570/screencastomatic_helpsheet_2020.pdf
Option: Record a VideoConference Call with Dr. D
With sufficient advance notice and planning on your part, Dr. D is happy to set up a videoconference call with you. She can record the call and post it for you.
Option: Use your Imagination!
You may record a video or audio in whichever format you prefer, as long as you share it as instructed below. You could record the video on your phone, as mentioned above, or on Google Hangouts or Zoom, if you are familiar with those platforms.
