Using external video content

The creation of video by UHI staff is very important in a flipped model of delivery, especially for building trust with students who are learning at a distance. However, it is important not to underestimate the potential for making use of videos that have been created by those outside the university.

Websites like YouTube, Khan Academy and Ted Talks include resources that can be used in the delivery of a module, and some of these videos are presented in a manner that can encourage student engagement.

For illustrated guidance on embedding external videos in Brightspace, visit page 12 ('Adding videos') of our Brightspace HTML editor guide.

Unfortunately, not all videos are created equally, and it is important that you take time to ensure that any external videos you include in your modules are suitable and contain accurate information.
