Publishing Videos on the Course Site

A few quick notes about posting your videos to the course site:

1.  It is preferable for you to embed your videos (rather than providing a link stating something like, “click here” for my video) so that they can be played directly in the post itself.  Linking to YouTube just adds an extra step for your viewers.  Remember that you can go back and edit your older post (in case you have linked there) and embed the vido just by copying/pasting the URL into the post.

2.  If for some reason after you copy/paste the URL into the post you have having trouble getting your embedded video to display (ex: if you provided the link from YouTube but for some reason the video doesn’t appear within the post), try editing the post, switching to the HTML view (the tab on the top right of the post box) and then update the post.  This should fix the problem.

 

And … I’m holding office hours today until 5:15pm, so if you need help with anything (specific technical questions, discussing your Scrapbooks, etc.), please do come stop by the 9th floor lounge and visit 🙂
