Video assignments by Lyn Collie (University of Auckland Business School) is a guide designed to assist staff and students to run and complete successful video assessments.
The guide is presented as a Canvas course, available on Canvas Commons. It contains a module for staff on designing a successful assignment and a series of modules that support video production.
The production modules are designed as stand-alone resources that can be added to any University of Auckland Canvas course, so students can access them while they’re completing a video assignment.
