This workshop will cover many of the possible video systems that may be used during a COVID-19 shutdown. Some of the video approaches we will cover include: Zoom (meetings, synchronous online teaching), Record/Upload Media (Canvas content editor), Canvas Studio (within Canvas), cellphone video (for video creation that can be stored on Canvas), and brief mention of other personalized forms (Skype, Facetime, etc.). A goal of the workshop is to ask participants to consider what the purposes of their video use are.
