Video Demonstration for Instructors

Guide for Students

Students must know how to join your Teams class, submit their video to the assignment, and then upload it to the folder for class comments. They will also need to know how to comment on the work of their peers. This video provides a complete guide for your students. Feel free to share this video in your course.

Rutgers does not currently have the ‘Teams Assignments’ tool integrated with Canvas. We will post updates when new information becomes available. 

VoiceThread is an integrated Canvas alternative to Flip. This media support page provides information on using VoiceThread.
