If you’re here, you’re probably wondering which tool is right for what you need to do as an educator.
See for current pricing.Both Edpuzzle and Screencastify are educational tools that allow you to record and use video content in creative and instructive ways. Since I have Zoom, it's not cost-effective to buy Screencastify.Ĥ) For those who do not have accounts with Zoom or another viable option for webcam and simultaneous screencasting that enable recordings/MP4 download (or another acceptable Canvas file format for video), the current $24/year per user "premium" account with Screencastify may be worth exploring. Although that process is about as time-consuming as recording natively in Canvas on any given day I can at least screencast while recording my webcam in Zoom, which was the feature that appealed to me with Screencastify. Since I'll have to do a lot of fiddling to create these videos with Screencastify, I'm going to instead use Zoom, which I am able to record with, download the MP4, and upload to Canvas successfully instead.
Here is a list of video formats that Canvas Speedgrader (presumably discussions and announcements as well) can handle: However, I could not export that to one of the Canvas acceptable media/video file formats (e.g, MP4) successfully the sound was lost. WEBM file and it played beautifully in my VLC media player. That prevents me from utilizing the alpha editor now available with Screencastify.Ģ) Screencastify requires a paid account to download or export as an MP4 (and again preferences use/access to your Google Drive associated with your account.ģ) I could save the. It preferences Google Drive as the option and permits this company to view the entire contents of the Drive account associated with the user. Here is what I've discovered that may be of some use to the readers of this thread:ġ) Screencastify gives the option to save to device or Google Drive. Today, after seeing a student submit a Screencastify video, I decided to try this Chrome extension option. With multiple students, this is not a feasible situation. Another issue is I would like to conduct screencasting to show things while I speak, which is not possible with the built-in Canvas tool. I'm finding the Canvas Upload/Record Media tool much, much, much too slow to save (about 30 minutes for a 3-5 minute video widespread/known and frequently reported issue by my institution as far as I understand it). I have a course that requires students to submit a video reflection and I submit, as the instructor, a video reply.
