Videos in a course supplement active learning components, such as discussions and problems. Videos can be effective for presenting motivating material, showing experiments, reducing cognitive load for complex content, and other purposes.
Adding a Video to a Course
To add a video, follow these steps.
In Studio, locate the unit that you want, and then select Video under Add New Component.
When the new video component appears, click Edit. The video editor opens to the Basic page.
In the Component Display Name field, enter the name that you want learners to see for this video. This name appears as a heading above the video in the LMS, and it identifies the video for you in Insights. If you do not enter a display name, the platform specifies “video” for you.
Locate the Default Video URL field, and then enter the location of your video. This is the URL that was created when you uploaded the video to the hosting site (YouTube or Panopto). For Panopto you have to use the Podcast link.
Optionally, click Advanced to set more options for the video. For a description of each option, see Set Advanced Options.
