Create Videos using the YouTube MyWebcam Tool

YouTube’s MyWebcam is a free tool you can use to record short videos using a webcam. Instructors could use the tool to record videos and add them to Sakai courses. Videos could be used to introduce yourself to students in your classes or introduce weekly lessons or assignments.

How do Instructors use Videos with their Students?

What do I need to record a video?

Tip: Before recording your video it’s a good idea to write a script. Save the script as a text file. You can use your script to add captions to your video.

Is there a Handout?

This Handout walks you through creating a video, uploading your transcript and generating closed captions, and displaying your video in Sakai.

Note: You can also add info about what students can do if they cannot hear the video’s sound: If you cannot hear the video’s sound, check your speaker settings, or turn on captions: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/100078?hl=en
