How to record with InSpace (for students)

Students can record in the Student Space, then share video with their instructor with the InSpace LMS integration.

In this article, we'll guide you through the process of creating and sharing recordings in the student space within your Learning Management System (LMS), whether it's Canvas, Blackboard, or Brightspace D2L. This step-by-step tutorial will help you make the most of your recording capabilities and ensure a smooth experience for both students and instructors.

Step 1: Accessing the Student Space

  • Log in to your LMS for your course.
  • Locate InSpace on your course site and open it up.
  • Choose the "Student Space" option as this is where you'll create your recordings.
  • Click "Join Space," and the student space will open in a new window.

Step 2: Setting Up Your Recording Environment

  • Confirm that your name appears correctly.
  • Verify that the correct camera, microphone, and speakers are selected.
  • Click "Join the Space."
  • As a student in the student space, you have host privileges.

Step 3: Starting the Recording

  • To initiate the recording, click the "Start Recording" button (looks like a target).
  • Audio transcription is turned on automatically, providing a written transcript of your recording.
  • Your InSpace tab name will change to "Select this for recording." Click on it and then "Share."

Step 4: Recording Your Content

  • Everything on your screen, including your voice, is being recorded.
  • You can zoom in on your room or zoom out to capture the entire screen.
  • If there are others in the student space, ensure you're in a breakout room to record separately.
  • To pause the recording temporarily, click the recording button again. You can resume or stop and name the recording.

Step 5: Saving and Sharing Your Recording

  • The recording is saved in your LMS library (Canvas, Blackboard, or Brightspace).
  • To locate and share it, go back to your LMS and open InSpace.
  • Select "Student Space" and then "Recordings."
  • Download or edit the video if needed, or click "Share" to share it with your instructor.
