Create Recordings using YuJa
LOG IN
Instructors: Please make sure to log in to Yuja through Blackboard and use a course that you are an instructor in first to create your YuJa account properly. Using a course that you are a student in OR using the "Outside of Blackboard" method first, will result in your account being created with student-based permissions.

RECORDING YOUR CAPTURE
