Tooltime: Setting Up Online Video Assignment Submissions | 19 March

Having your students create videos can be a powerful learning activity that develops a range of analytical, compositional and presentational skills.

When this is set as an assessment task, you’ll often want them to send you a copy for marking and for reference.

In this brief Tooltime session we’ll go through the media submission tools built into Blackboard and Canvas, which you can use to enable video assignments to be submitted and marked without leaving the learning management system ecosystem.

Please BYO device, and if you have them, some video files to play around with.

What is Tooltime?

Tooltime is a series of short informal showcases, where staff from all areas are given the opportunity to share a gadget, tool, app, workflow or technique. The technologies showcased can range from anything that could engage learners, streamline teaching or are simply time savers. Sessions do not have to formally address teaching and learning concepts in-depth, but rather recognise the technology’s potential capabilities in this area. Each session in the series will run for 30 minutes and are intended for either academic or professional staff.

Disclaimer:

The Tooltime hosts make no claims on the utility of tools and do not necessarily provide support for the gadgets, widgets or workflows presented.
