There are several ways to add videos to your Blackboard courses. <\/p>\n<p>To provide just-in-time feedback or to build in spontaneous interaction, faculty and students can use the <a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-81-video-everywhere\/\">Video Everywhere<\/a> tool to record video directly via their webcam or reuse an already recorded video from their playlist. The <a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-81-video-everywhere\/\">Video Everywhere<\/a> tool allows faculty and students to place video wherever the <a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-102-content-editor\/\">Content Editor<\/a> is available, from discussion board posts, to assessment feedback, to blog posts, journals, wikis, and of course in announcements and content areas. Furthermore, by leveraging the power and ease of use of YouTube, the <a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-81-video-everywhere\/\">Video Everywhere<\/a> tool allows you to add rich media into courses quickly and efficiently. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Video Everywhere\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online2.fiu.edu\/images\/blackboardlearn\/sp11_video_everywhere.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online2.fiu.edu\/images\/blackboardlearn\/sp11_video_everywhere.png?resize=377%2C356\" alt=\"image showing Video Everywhere recording\" width=\"377\" height=\"356\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blackboard supports embedding and\/or linking to video from many other systems and solutions.  Sites such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/\">Vimeo<\/a>, or other video repositories can be embedded easily by switching to html mode in the <a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-102-content-editor\/\">Content Editor<\/a> and then pasting in the embed code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Embed Video\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ftsfnigeria.org\/images\/icon_embed2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ftsfnigeria.org\/images\/icon_embed2.jpg?resize=220%2C170\" alt=\"image showing Embed Video using HTML code\" width=\"220\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The benefit of embedding video into a course is that it enables the students to stay within the context of the course and within the sequence of instruction, rather than linking out away from course content.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to add video to your course is to upload the video file (i.e., MPEG\/AVI, QuickTime, Flash\/Shockwave, Microsoft .asf and .wmv formats). <\/p>\n<p>Video files are generally large files. Your course size is total of your uploaded video files sizes along with the size of all other course content. Each Blackboard course has a 1.25 GB maximum course size limit. It is a good idea to embed or link to videos rather than uploading video files to your course to help you to stay within the maximum course size limit. You can upload your videos to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/\">Vimeo<\/a>, or other media server and then embed or link to the video within the course as explained above. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Build Content\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/en-us.help.blackboard.com\/%40api\/deki\/files\/3728\/build_content_drop_down_list.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/en-us.help.blackboard.com\/%40api\/deki\/files\/3728\/build_content_drop_down_list.png?resize=243%2C280&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"image showing Build Content\" width=\"243\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When adding video files, it is a good idea to include links to any browser plug-ins or media player files that users will need to view the videos.<\/p>\n<h3>Want more information?<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Applying Active Learning Strategies to Videos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facultyfocus.com\/articles\/teaching-with-technology-articles\/from-passive-viewing-to-active-learning-simple-techniques-for-applying-active-learning-strategies-to-online-course-videos\/\">Simple Techniques for Applying Active Learning Strategies to Videos<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Video Everywhere\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-81-video-everywhere\/\">Video Everywhere<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Video Announcements\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/best-practices-for-posting-video-announcements\/\">Best Practices for Posting Video Announcements<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Mashups\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/ bb-tip-107-mashups\/\">Creating Mashups<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Integrate Web 2.0 Tools\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/bb-tip-70-integrate-web-2-0-tools-in-your-course\/\">Embed Videos into Your Course<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Create Audio, Image, and Video Links\" href=\"http:\/\/help.blackboard.com\/en-us\/Learn\/9.1_SP_12_and_SP_13\/Instructor\/070_Course_Content\/000_Creating_Content\/010_Creating_Content_in_a_Course_Area#section_6\">How to Create Audio, Image, and Video Links<\/a><br \/>\nExplore Blackboard\u2019s <a title=\"On Demand\" href=\"http:\/\/ondemand.blackboard.com\/\">On Demand Learning Center<\/a>.<br \/>\nTry these <a title=\"Bb How-to\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/blackboard-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blackboard How-To documents<\/a>.<br \/>\nVisit the <a title=\"Bb FAQs\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/blackboard-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blackboard FAQs<\/a> for additional blackboard information<br \/>\nor <a title=\"Schedule 1-on-1\" href=\"http:\/\/jflorent.youcanbook.me\/\">schedule a one-on-one session<\/a>, <a title=\"Send email\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/mail\/?to=31\">email<\/a>, or <br \/>call Janice Florent: (504) 520-7418.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video is one of the most powerful, motivating, and visual ways to learn.
