Once you have a recording made, you can easily share it in a number of ways, including embedding it in a Canvas page. Use the following resource from UW IT to learn how to do this:

Pre-Recording Lectures Using Panopto

Panopto is also an excellent tool for pre-recording lectures—including video of yourself, your screen, and using PowerPoint (or Keynote) slides— from your computer. Pre-recording lectures works for classes of any size. Colleen Craig (ASA Teaching Fellow, Chemistry faculty) says it’s easy to record lectures using Panopto.

Panopto is particularly good when paired with PowerPoint. If you plan to use PowerPoint, be sure your slides are formatted in the most effective and accessible way.

Below are some tutorials she located on the Panopto website:

• Installing Panopto (Windows Links to an external site. and Mac Links to an external site.)
• Recording a video (Windows Links to an external site. and Mac Links to an external site.)
• Editing your video Links to an external site.

Recording Your Zoom Class Meetings

If you are holding online synchronous class meetings using Zoom, then recording those meetings and sharing them, with your students is an easy way to accommodate students who cannot attend the "live" session.

UW Tacoma IT supports Zoom and has published help documents for setting up, facilitating, recording, and sharing your Zoom meetings.
