Due to rising costs and reliability issues, the Center for Online Learning and Innovation ended our subscription for ScreenPal (formerly Screencast-O-Matic) on May 14th, 2024. Please see our original post here for more information.
In short, while ScreePal had been a great toolset, new tools have appeared since we initially subscribed. These tools are more capable, reliable and, in some instances, better integrated into D2L.
Faculty can record videos using a variety of options:
- Panopto is built into D2L, and provides a web-based recorder and simple editor for making cuts. We find this is the most efficient solution for most faculty and staff, and it can even be available to students in classes.
- Mac users have QuickTime and iMovie.
- PC users can try Clipchamp, a Microsoft Product.
- OBS (Open Broadcast Software) and Adobe Premiere Pro are advanced options for recording and editing, respectively.
Additional tips, tutorials, and information can be found on the Web-Based Video for Teaching Wiki page.
