Use VidGrid to record your presentation of PowerPoint lecture materials. You can record just your voice or include your webcam video feed.
VidGrid support provides a screencast tutorial on how to create a recorded lecture.
Our VidGrid pilot users, about 25 faculty across all academic disciplines, found using VidGrid in a Canvas discussion as a useful teaching tool. The students can reply to a discussion with embedded VidGrid videos of themselves or of a screencast of their work. Students can use a webcam or their cell phones to record. Examples of their use of VidGrid in Canvas discussions include:
If you require students to submit a recording of themselves or their work using VidGrid, include in your discussion prompt the following instructions for your students to follow to use the VidGrid tool.
Ungraded
Share the link to your VidGrid video as you would share any other type of link. VidGrid support provides directions on how to share one video or several videos.
Graded
Add an embedded question in your VidGrid video following the VidGrid tutorial on adding questions to your content.
Students can submit their VidGrid videos, either recordings made in VidGrid or recordings made on their cell phones or webcams, to an assignment. You can then view the student's video and grade it using a rubric and the Canvas Speedgrader tools.
This is a good option for grading student presentations, demonstrations, or for descriptive video of their artwork. Share with your students the link to this LibGuide to guide them in creating a recording or uploading a recording to VidGrid. Another great resources for students to use is the VidGrid support page: https://app.vidgrid.com/content/W0n8kgWNwzJX Provide the link to this LibGuide and to the VidGrid support page in your assignment directions.
