Lecture Recording @ York

TechSmith Relay – York’s primary tool for recording on on-demand content from classroom, offices or your home and which can be automatically published (if you wish) into your eClass course.

Zoom – The primary tool for synchronous meetings for your courses that can also be recorded (with or without meeting participants) and included in your eClass course.
