Helpful Zoom resources for Instructional use:

Where should I put instructional videos I want to use in Canvas

Saddleback College has many ways you can post your videos within the course. Be sure you are creating short clips, no longer than 8-12 min. If it's a large video, split it up into separate clips named with topics. It's easier for you and students to refer back to.

  1. YouTube is our top pick. It's easy and you can control the content

  2. 3Cmediasolutions.org - contact the Faculty Center for more details on using 3Cmedia.

  3. Let us help you! Feel free to set up a meeting with one of the Faculty Center staff to go over the pros and cons of using each of the tools at your fingertips!

Keep your cloud storage in check!

Zoom is not a permanent location for instructional videos. All videos will be deleted 365 days from the day they were originally created. Be sure to download and save any cloud recordings.
