Video Assignment for Students (KA #1759) Published 12/07/2016 01:16 PM | Updated 8/6/2020 Audience: Learner

Complete a video assignment

You can create video presentations in your D2L Brightspace course using Video Assignments by Bongo. You have the option to record your video separately with an external video camera and then upload the video file to Bongo or you can use your webcam and microphone to record it directly in Bongo. You can also combine multiple video files into one submission.

And you can add image files and document files for visual aids. For example, your presentation slides can be exported as JPEG images, or you can use a chart or graph made in Excel that is also saved as an image file.

For more information, visit Bongo’s support site for details on Assignment Overviews or Assignment Basics.
