Overview
ScreenPal can be used to record and narrate presentations by recording your computer screen. The free version allows for recordings of up to 15 minutes. You can edit and save the recording to your desktop and then upload it to your NEOMED OneDrive. Within OneDrive, you can change the sharing settings to create a shareable link that you can paste into your Canvas assignment submission.
Alternatively, you can paste the video directly into the Canvas submission as a file depending on how the assignment is set up (this is probably the easier route to take if possible).
