When you and/or your students cannot be physically present in the same place at the same time, or if you want to create learning resources to be used outside of classroom for flipped learning , the following tools help create video resources. These tools allow recording voiceover with video from your webcam and/or anything on your screen.
Panopto
Publish and share easily on Canvas
- Add voiceover to your PowerPoint presentation or anything on your screen.
- Option to capture yourself or what you are doing with a webcam. Can do both at once.

Camtasia
Higher end, more functionality
