Kaltura
UW-Parkside has a tool called Kaltura that allows you to record your computer screen, webcam, and/or microphone.

Please review the Kaltura resources to familiarize yourself with the tool:

Zoom
Zoom is UW-Parkside's video-conferencing software. You can access Zoom via the Canvas course navigation bar and/or the campus logins page.
Turnitin
Turnitin is UW-Parkside's anti-plagiarism software. When a student submits an assignment to a folder that has Turnitin enabled, they will receive an originality score for their work.
Turnitin is less about catching plagiarism and more about ensuring that students understand how to properly cite the sources they use. Please make sure you understand how to review your originality report. Anything flagged excessively will be reviewed.
