My institution is currently experimenting with the New Content Experience. A concern is the lack of support for video embeds (bar YouTube) when creating a new weblink. Will there ever be an option to insert an embed code instead of only a URL? Being to create video topics and audio topics is a very welcome feature of the classic content experience.

If there is a way to embed videos other than into html pages, I'd appreciate any guidance.

Thanks,

Rodrigo

Hello @Rodrigo.L.127

Thank you for contacting us via Brightspace Community!

In New Content experience (Lessons), there is no 'Video or Audio' option directly, as it actually falls under a few other options:

1. If you have the URL that happens to be a video, you can add it by selecting 'Create New' > "WebLink"
2. If you have a file that happens to be a video, you can add it by selecting "Add Existing" > then using the drag/drop or browse option to find it.
3. Classic Content has an option to add Embed code, however the recommendation for using Embedded code is to create a new HTML file, and then embed the video within that file using the Insert Stuff option to add the video.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Heba and thanks for responding, however I am looking for tutorial videos for instructors to refer to for specific practices. I can find some on youtube, but the new updates or the content view is not highlighted. Is Brightspace not producing tutorial videos for the updated views? If they are, where will we find them and when will they be available?

Hi @Craig.G.70,

Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!

I have attached a link to a video that walks through the steps needed to copy components from the fully developed course in Brightspace into the similar course offering that needs to be built out.

This will allow you to copy and reuse the writing assignments and rubrics from the previous course. You will need to reenable Turnitin once the course copy has been completed.

Hope this helps!
