Embedding Multimedia

Embedding multimedia into your Moodle course page can be useful as it means students don’t have to leave the page to view content on other sites

Embedding from YouTube

Find the YouTube video which you would like to embed into Moodle and click the share tab

Click on the embed tab and copy the html code which is given

In Moodle add a new resource/activity and select label

A label enables text/multimedia to be inserted into the course page

Labels may be used:

• To split up a long list of resources with heading/image

• To display embedded multimedia (which is what we are going to use it for in this case)

• To Add a short description

In the Moodle editor click on the html icon

The HTML source editor doesn’t just appear in the label resource it also appears in web pages, books, quizzes and other activities. When you see the HTML icon multimedia can be embedded!

Paste the html code into the source editor and click update

Save the label

The video will now be embedded into Moodle

Uploading to the Media ServerClick on the Media Server tab

Click on the upload tab

Tagging

If it is a TV recording it is important it is tagged with the, title, channel and the date and time from when you recorded it in order to satisfy copyright regulations. You put this information in the description box

If your videos aren’t tagged correctly they may be removed!

Once the video has been uploaded you receive this message:

The video is now processing….

Once it has been uploaded you will receive an email and it will appear in the latest video list

Embedding from the Media ServerThis works in the same way as embedding the You Tube video

When you click on the video it will give you the embed code. Copy the code into your Moodle course page using the HTML button as shown previously
