Introduction
This article, for SUNY Empire students, will go over how to record an MP4 and upload it to an assignment area for submission in a Brightspace online course.
Only an uploaded MP4 is accepted as a submission. This requirement for a separate file is necessary to ensure compliance with record retention policies, as cloud links and files may become inaccessible over time, and the course needs to preserve your assignment submissions for future reference. You may also put in a link for viewer convenience but that will not satisfy the assignment submission requirement.
Creating and Submitting
- Select the title of the assignment area.
- Choose "Record Video". You may upload a file if you have already created a video using this button or choose New Recording. Note, you have a 30-minute limit for your recording.
- Select" New Recording"
- Once you have finished recording, select "Add".
- Add a title, description, and under audio language, choose "English". Also select "Automatically Generate Captions From Audio".
- Select "Add".
- Wait for your video to upload. Once uploaded, you may add a comment in the comment box.
- In order to fully submit the video, you must select "Submit". A window will appear, stating it was submitted successfully and a confirmation email will be sent to you.
Please note that submitting an MP4 file through this method is required over any other method in order to create a file that stays with all of your course records.
