[ARCHIVED] Videoing Lectures without a webcam

What is the best way to video lectures without a webcam?

Hello  evangeline east,

You really can't record anything without a webcam. The good news is they are fairly inexpensive. Also most laptop computers have one built-in, smart phones and iPads all have a webcam built-in.  I encourage you to reach out to your IT folks to see what they have available to you.

Alternatively, you can use PowerPoint with audio.

so can I basically tape a lecture with my smartphone and upload to canvas? Is it compatible with canvas?

I'm waiting for a reply from my IT

Yes, you can record a lecture on your phone and then upload it to Canvas. Here's a Guide on that (its even easier if you have the Canvas APP). https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10623-how-do-i-upload-a-video-using-the-rich-content-editor... 

Or are you a teacher?
