In this video tutorial we will show you how to use the 'Video Everywhere' feature now on
Blackboard.
The video everywhere feature will add video content in any area of your Blackboard
course.
Before you begin you will need a webcam with a mic.
You also need to have a google account which is tied to Youtube, since Youtube
is now owned by Google.
To begin
we're going to go to lessons
under Item.
Name the item.
In the new tool bar you will see uh... webcam icon on the lower left hand
corner.
This is the video everywhere tool.
Click on the icon,
and the video everywhere dialogue box will come up.
At this point you will need to sign into your Youtube account, which is also your
google account.
Once you've signed in you'll need to grant grant access to your Youtube account.
You're now ready to start recording from webcam.
Click the record from webcam button.
To start recording, hit the start recording button,
and you're ready to start recording.
Once you're done recording, you can record up to 10 minutes of video to your Youtube
account,
but once you're done hit stop recording.
You can also start over if you need too, hitting the start over button.
If you're satisfied with the results of your video, go ahead and hit the upload
button.
At this point its asking you uh... how you would like to insert the content at your
Blackboard course.
If you select the 'Play & place' uh... item, which is the default selection,
students will be able to play the video right in the content area of your course.
If you select 'Thumbnail'l they will
uh... receive a thumbnail preview which they they can then click on & it will open a
new window.
When you're ready, hit insert.
If you need to add text to the content area, you can do that at any time.
Once you have the video in place, which is represented by this yellow box,
you'll hit submit.
Your video is displayedto Play & place here. Again if the thumbnail is selected
they would click the thumbnail icon
and it will open a new window.
That is how you use the Video Everywhere feature, if you have other questions regarding the
tool, please contact Blackboard support
