Video Feedback allows you to record video and/or audio feedback while also recording your screen. This type of feedback is very popular with students because it helps you to provide deeper insights into why you graded the assignment the way you did.

Directions

Open a student submission in the Speedgrader.
Scroll to the bottom of the submission panel and select the icon of the video camera.
The first time you use the recording feature, you may see a pop-up requesting permission to access your camera and microphone. Be sure to allow access to both.
On the Studio Capture pop-up window, click on the caret next to the camera and microphone icons to choose the input source. You can also choose "Webcam disabled" if you don't want to have any video recording.
If you wish to record your screen while giving feedback, click on the caret next to "Screen Capture" and select "Enable." A pop-up will ask you to choose what area of the screen to record. Choosing "entire screen" will minimize the chance of problems while recording.
Select the "Start Recording" button. The recording will begin after a 3-second countdown.
When you are finished, select the "Finish" button.
You may choose to give the recording a title. Select the "Save Media" button to save the recording and return to the Speedgrader.
The comment will appear in the submission pane. It may take a moment to process before you can view it. To delete the recording, click on the X. You can have multiple recorded comments.
Select the "Submit" button as normal when you are done providing feedback on the student submission.

Best Practices for Video Feedback

Plan Your Feedback

While you don't need a script, it's helpful to have completely reviewed the student's submission and jotted down a few key points before you start recording. This helps keep your recording short and on point.

Speak to the Student

Just like you would when speaking to a student in a face-to-face conference, use the student's name. If you've seen a change in the quality of their work, mention how they've improved. Treat this like a one-sided conversation with an individual rather than an impersonal video.
