Content Pages Focused on Video

If you are planning to use videos in your course, it is best practice to embed them in a page rather than providing just a link. Sometimes the source of your video will not allow it to be embedded. In that case, you have two choices: 1) link it from your module overview page, or 2) take a screenshot of the video, put that on a page and link the image to your video. The second option is really only useful when you have a page of videos that you have grouped together and a link might be missed.

Below are three variations of videos embedded on a page, The first two examples show a single video with explanatory text or a list of questions that students should focus on while watching. The last example is of a group of shorter lectures around the same topic. One thing to notice is that all the videos are the same width, which makes the page feel more organized. If you would like to know how to change the widths of videos so they all match, see this tutorial for how to align your videos.
