How do Instructors use Videos with their Students?

  • Computer speakers or headset

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.
