There are a variety of ways to get started making your own video, and the Distance Education team would love to support you in these efforts. If you want to start making video quickly and easily on your own at home, we recommend starting with Canvas Studio, which is integrated into Canvas and currently funded by the Chancellor’s Office.
Studio enables you to record and caption either webcam or screencast videos and easily place them into your Canvas course for students to view.
