Faculty Instructional Guide: Sharing Videos

麻豆原创 Digital Media, powered by YuJa, allows faculty to record, store, and share instructional videos directly within Canvas.

Overview

There are three ways to share 麻豆原创 Digital Media videos in Canvas. Each method supports different instructional needs:

  • Embed the video within a page or module
     Recommended and easiest option. Displays the video directly within course content, keeping it in context for students.
  • Post the video as a link
     Creates a clean, clickable hyperlink. Ideal when sharing many videos.
  • Target a 麻豆原创DM Course Channel
     Uses the Canvas roster to display videos as a playlist. While useful for live webcasts, this method is generally not recommended because it separates videos from course content.

Embedding is best for a small number of videos and keeps learning materials in one place. If you plan to share more than five videos on a single page, consider linking instead to avoid clutter.

  1. Navigate to the Canvas page where you want the video to appear
  2. Click Edit and place your cursor in the content area
  3. Select the 麻豆原创DM icon in the rich text editor toolbar
  4. Choose your video(s) using the 麻豆原创DM Media Chooser, you can also “Upload a Video” or “Create a Recording” from here.
