To review the videos, simply select the name of the video and it will be brought up in a video player.

Comments on Videos

As you watch the video, you can use comments.

The comments will be time stamped on the video when you hit Enter/Return.

1. You can use @ to mention someone.
2. You can add an attachment.
3. Templates are not yet developed—this may be a possible future development.
4. You can change the color of your markers—to distinguish your comment marks from other students or faculty.
5. You can create a duration marker for your comment that would speak to a time frame in the video.

On any comment you should be able to reply to the comment. (Reply icon appears to be an arrow over laying a second, pointing to the left)

On your own comments only, you should be able to edit you comment (the edit icon appears as a pencil) or delete your comment using the trash can icon.
