Canvas - Responding with Video in a Word (UW-Madison)

This certificate provides instructors an overview of different options for student use of video in discussion posts. It describes 2 scenarios for how instructors could take their students participate in video-based discussions.

Scenario 1: Students Upload Videos Directly to Sheet

Things to Consider

1. Completely Mobile Solution - This scenario allows the student to tape and post videos completely from their mobile device.
2. Student Cognitive Load - This scenario has the potential to cause less cognitive overload since the students could utilize their phone to do the entire process.
3. Storage Limits - Videos tin can take a big file size. Sail has storage limits for what tin can be uploaded. Students may hit these storage limits and not be able to upload their videos.
4. Students Directly Uploading Videos (Split from Webcam Recording) - According to this Canvas certificate, "Whatsoever attachments added as part of discussions are copied to [the educatee's] user files. Attachments for graded discussions are not counted against [the pupil'due south] user quota and cannot exist deleted".

   According to this UW-Madison KB document, individual users have a storage limit of 512 MB. In other words, students, in total, accept a storage limit of 512 MB that they cannot exceed. Video files can get big rather quickly, so students may hit this storage limit if they upload many videos.

   Warning - Teacher Prerequisite If the instructor plans on allowing students attach files to discussions, they need to brand sure the option "Attach files to discussions" is selected. This is described in the post-obit Sail guide: How practise I let students to adhere files to a course discussion?.

5. Webcam Recordings - Co-ordinate to the same UW-Madison KB document, "Webcam recordings and media comments created direct in Sheet are stored on a separate media server and do not count toward your course's storage quota.

   This ways if students are using the webcam recorder via a laptop or desktop figurer, those videos will not go against any quota. This would as well require that students accept a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam.
