Video Assignments in Canvas: An Introduction to Bongo
Jan 19 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Would you like your students to create a video presentation, demonstrate a hands-on skill with video, or submit any type of video assignment at all? And then efficiently grade it in Canvas? Even in a big class? Bongo is a Canvas-integrated tool which lets you make video assignments in fewer steps, and includes a built-in video recorder, file upload capability, and an automatic integration with the Canvas Gradebook.
