Embedding Videos into Moodle

A few weeks ago, Faculty Focus complied some tips and tricks for online teaching.  They are meant to improve student experience in the online learning environment.  Check them out here

If you plan to use the “post emails to the class as announcements” tip, the News Forum that we use in Moodle will accomplish that nicely.

If you plan to use the “embed videos” tip, follow these steps:
1) Find the video that you wish to embed (meaning the video that you’d like to place directly onto a course page, directly onto a webpage, directly into a discussion forum, or directly into a quiz).
2) Click “Embed.”  If you do not see an “embed” button, it may mean that the video is not able to be embedded.
3) An embed code will appear.  Copy it.
4) Go into Moodle and open the activity where you’d like to place the video.  When the HTML bar appears, click on the “HTML Toggle Source” icon (located to the far right).
5) Paste the code.  Click “Save and display” to see how the video will appear to the students.
