Create a Narrated Presentation
NOTICE: Our suggested narrated presentation software, Loom, recently removed free educational accounts for new students. If you already have a Loom account, you can continue to use it for the Fall 1 term. For those without a Loom account, you can use the Vimeo instructions below or any screen recording tool you prefer such as Zoom or Screencast-O-Matic. If you use another tool, please upload your screen recording to YouTube and share a link to your video and be sure that the privacy is set to public or unlisted. Check back in Fall 2 for updates on narrated presentations.
