Yes with a recent upgrade we can set up what is called a “Channel” which will give your students a “YouTube” type of experience when viewing videos and will allow them to make comments about the recordings as well annotate within a specific point in a video. This link will let you see what it looks like. How about trying this for those who are recording this Spring specifically for Distance Ed only courses? Great way to get some interaction from your students.
