This guide provides information that will help you to facilitate students uploading to the DMU Replay system whilst maintaining a level of privacy by default.
The Assignment Folder function provides a space that students can access when either using the DMU Replay recorder software or when uploading videos that may have been recorded using other software and devices for assessment.
If your module folder is shared outside of the default permissions it is likely that other colleagues will be able record to your new Assignment folder.
When uploading videos the DMU Replay system can only handle a maximum resolution of 1080p. This is High Definition and will be fine in the majority of cases but if you require a higher resolution please see the FAQ titled Can I or my students upload Ultra High Def’ videos?
