information.As a software developer and technology author, I have been very impressed with the comprehensive collection of Alexa toolkits and developer resources that have been made available for innovators to experiment with. A toolkit (or SDK) allows programmer’s access to Alexa’s features and lets them create Alexa ‘skills’. A developer can also integrate Alexa directly into an existing product via the Alexa Voice Service (AVS) interface. I have spent many hours using SDKs over the years to write programs

for you to record and easier for students to watch. I recommend sharing recordings with students on Sakai Lessons pages. Recordings can be shared as links, files, or embedded in players on a lesson page. When possible, avoid uploading large files to Sakai, which imposes restrictions on the size of individual uploads and resources storage for an individual course site. Large files can be also difficult for students to download if they are using a phone data plan. Below is an example of screencast
