Overview:

Video Notes can be used to introduce yourself in Announcements, offer feedback on an Assignment, add to Discussions and so much more! This tool can be used by instructors and students with Insert Stuff, creating opportunities for video responses. Video Notes can be saved and reused anywhere Insert Stuff is located as well as in different courses.

 

How to Create and Add a Video Note

5. Click Next.

NOTE: Before clicking Next you can view your video by clicking on the triangle play button. If you click New Recording before clicking Next, the video you just recorded will be lost.

 

6. Title your video and add a description (this is valuable information for you when looking for the correct Video Note, especially if you plan on reusing it later).

 

7. Select the Audio Language and check the Automatically generate captions from audio. D2L will create captions for you as long as this box is checked.
