Videos

This page demonstrates different options for videos.

Videos can provide wonderful reinforcement of key concepts, guiding students step by step through course concepts.


Option 1: HTML Editor

You can open the HTML Editor in two ways. When "creating a new file" or by "editing" an existing file.

Creating a new file:

Create a file by selecting the new blue button and choosing, create a file in the dropdown options.

Then select a document template located beside the content title to ensure that your content connects to all the styles and components of this template.

Insert Stuff:

When creating or editing a file there is an "insert stuff" option with a dark rectangle with a white arrow inside for an icon. It is located in the top left side of the menu and is near "insert image" and "insert quicklink".

NOTE: When inserting Videos, please use D2L's built in editor "insert stuff" option. This allows you to save videos and files in the correct folders by selecting the "Choose Destination" button (this helps avoid broken links). Please make sure you are saving files and videos in their corresponding week/module folders.

When inserting a video it is important to ensure that there is "closed captioning". This is a mandatory step in being AODA compliant.
