Students can capture and upload video in the Canvas Discussion tool. The Kaltura integration adds an embed icon to the rich text editor, so instructors can create a discussion prompt to have students upload their performance and then get peer critique through the discussion threads.
Many of the aspects of using video conferencing in a Hybrid/Hyflex scenario apply to its use in full online instruction. Synchronous video does carry some technical risk in that it requires a stable internet connection. With that in mind, it is recommended to have alternative forms of the lecture content available in the event of technical issues with the live stream (e.g. slides, articles, modules, pre-recorded video). In most cases a recording of the live session should be made available to allow students to review the lecture content. This is especially important for students that may need to time-shift because of time zone or other challenges.
