Using The Media Recorder in Canvas

I'm going to quickly use the built-in media recorder in Canvas which you can use on any page to create content using my webcam and microphone I'm editing a page in campus I click Record Media, and allow it to use my webcam or you attach an external webcam I give it a title and lick to start recording. It records a simple video while you sit in your office (or library in my case!) and you can embed it into any content page I click anywhere to stop recording I save it... and it is embedded in the page I save the changes to the page and wait for it to convert the file. and then we'll try playing it Educational uses: the lecturer can respond quickly to current topics... if there are particular topics students are struggling with you can quickly jump in and record a quick video of yourself talking about the topic which is probably more efficient and more fluid and contemporary than, for example, going into a discussion board and typing out text you can also use it when you're building your pages so that if you have text or graphics and you can embed videos to explain concepts and of course you can always get students to use it as part of their work... their group work... project work... or even in assignments. We'll see if it has converted and press Play... [the video is playing] We will pause it and the task is done!
