Support Schedule
The Vanderbilt University Brightspace Instructional Technologists are available for support between 8 AM and 4 PM Monday through Friday. Any emails received after 4 PM will be addressed when our team returns to normal support at 8 AM the following business day. While we’re out, we encourage you to utilize our On-Demand Resources to answer any questions that arise.
There are various different ways to submit a video assignment.
You can record a video directly with the video assignment. This is likely the most common way that your instructor will ask you to submit a video assignment. With this option, you can record yourself and/or objects using your device’s camera. Note that you can only record yourself using a camera; you cannot record your camera and your screen at the same time.
There are three other ways to submit a video assignment if this is not possible or if your instructor asks you to submit a video assignment in one of these ways.
You can upload a video, either from your own device or from a service such as DropBox.
You can upload a file, such as a PDF or a Word file, from your device.
You can also add a link. For example, you might link to a YouTube video.
