Introduction
In your platform, you can use videos from other websites as training material in courses. You can create video training material from certain websites via URL, rather than uploading a file into the platform. These training material s are tracked like regular videos in the platform, meaning a Superadmin can see if a learner did not finish watching the video. Please note: The video can only be tracked if the learner watches it on the platform. If the learner watches the video on another site (such as YouTube), this cannot be tracked. You can embed videos via URL from Youtube, Wistia, and Vimeo. You can add these videos directly into courses, or from the Central Repository.Adding the Video into the Central Repository
Begin by logging into the platform as the Superadmin and accessing the Admin Menu from the gear icon in the top right corner. Then, press the Central Repository item in the E-Learning section. To create a video training material, press the Add Training Material button, then select Video from the dropdown menu.
Adding the Video Directly into a Course
You can also add this type of video training material directly into a course. Begin by login into the platform and access the course for which you would like to upload a video. Reach the Admin Menu from the gear icon in the top right corner, then select the Courses item in the E-Learning section. On the Courses Management page, find the course in the courses list and select the menu icon at the end of the course’s row, then select Training Materials from the dropdown menu. On the Training Materials page, press the Add Training Materials button, then select Video from the dropdown menu. On the upload page, flag the option embed a video URL, then select the Upload File button to choose your file.
Video Completion
Video objects are marked as completed for learners using the following criteria
- When the video reaches 15 seconds before the end marker if the video is longer than 150 seconds.
- When the video reaches 90% of completion from the start marker if the video is shorter than 150 seconds.
