How do I create a screencast and upload it to Sakai

How to Create a Screencast Video

You can record your screen (a copy of what displays on your screen) using Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Warpwire does NOT recommend using Apple's Safari web browser. Instructors use screencasts to create tours of their Sakai course or accessing publisher materials; demonstrate how to perform math, science, or computer lab assignments, and provide student feedback.

Remember, before getting started, you have to enable Warpwire in your Sakai course (this is a one-time task in each course).

1. Click on Warpwire in the course menu to go to your Media Library.
2. Click the plus (+) button, and select Screen Capture from the drop-down menu.
   If you use Chrome or Firefox:
   Your browser may ask for permission to use your computer’s camera. Click Allow.
3. A preview of your webcam appears. On the right side, usually, your webcam and microphone will be chosen.
