Using video
Video files should not be uploaded directly to Brightspace, instead it should be uploading to the streaming server (Medial). This service functions like an institutional version of YouTube, and videos from here can be integrated into module spaces on Brightspace, Yammer or any other UHI core technology capable of accepting web links.
One benefit of a streaming server is that videos stored there can be used across multiple modules. A general example of this could be videos on 'How to use the UHI Referencing System' created for one module being linked out to from a variety of other modules. A more specific example could be videos created for a science module demonstrating a process, a technique or some equipment being used as part of an engineering module.
The reuse of high-quality video content across programmes can add an extra dimension to a course and as part of the Flipped Classroom model can free up tutor time for engagement in more dynamic activities and interaction with students.
All efforts have been made to ensure materials created by the EDU comply with current accessibility guidelines (JISC: Support for learners with disabilities).
If further assistance is required with accessibility matters please contact the student support section in your academic partner UHI: Accessing learner support.
