If you are interested how to use videos to demonstrate learning, read my \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/video-assignments\/\">Video Assignments<\/a>\u201d blog post. This blog post also covers how students should go about linking to their videos in Blackboard.<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chnresources.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Video-Assignment-Options.png\" title=\"video assignment\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chnresources.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Video-Assignment-Options.png?resize=384%2C288\" alt=\"PowerPoint slide with a video assignment\" height=\"288\" width=\"384\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to add videos to your Blackboard courses. 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\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/embed_your_video.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/embed_your_video.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. Each Blackboard course has a 1.25 GB maximum course size limit. Your course size is total of your uploaded video files sizes along with the size of all other course content, including content uploaded into your course by your students. <\/p>\n<p><strong>It is a good idea to embed or link to videos rather than uploading video files to your course<\/strong> 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.
