YouTube videos
YouTube is one of the most popular web sites to find and add videos.
In the past instructors could use the YouTube MyWebcam tool to record videos and add them to Sakai courses. As of January 16, 2016 Google discontinued the YouTube MyWebcam tool. We suggest you use another tool, such as Screencast-O-Matic,which is free and allows you to upload your videos directly to YouTube.
Often, instructors use videos to introduce themselves to students in classes or ti introduce weekly lessons or assignments.
