Using videos from a variety of sources can really bring your courses to life – here are a few of the ways that we can do that in Moodle.\u00a0Full details are available in\u00a0this guide to sharing videos in Moodle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Linking & embedding videos<\/h3>\n
\"Moodle<\/a>

Click to view<\/p><\/div>\n

Use the Online Video<\/em> activity to add a video link to your course homepage, or use the online video icon in the HTML editor to embed a video in a Moodle\u00a0Page or Book.\u00a0This is preferable to embedding videos on the course home page as it reduces page scrolling and page loading.<\/p>\n

Both methods allow you to upload a video to the online video server, and to search for an existing video in your personal, secure or public categories.<\/p>\n

\"\"MEDIALecture<\/a> makes it easy to record your computer\u2019s screen activity and also your voice using a microphone or webcam.<\/p>\n

The University\u00a0Online Video Server<\/h3>\n
