Webcam Video in E-Learning #49: Challenge | Recap
Challenge of the week
This week your challenge is to create a webcam video to introduce yourself and the types of e-learning projects you enjoy most.
This challenge is the third in our portfolio challenges. In previous challenges, you created interactive resumes and shared your e-learning portfolios. This week you'll record a video introduction and highlight some projects you've designed.
Tools
You can use Articulate Replay (free) or any other video software to create and mix your webcam and screencast video.
Publishing your videos
You can embed your webcam videos in Articulate Studio or Articulate Storyline and share your project like any other course. Another option is to publish to a video hosting service like YouTube, Vimeo, or even Flickr.
If you need help hosting your project, send me a message through Heroes and I’ll help you out.
