Video in Moodle

Video is a powerful tool; you've probably come across at least one video online that you've thought might be interesting to share with your students. You can add an online video to your Moodle course in two ways - linking or embedding. Here's how:
Aside from YouTube, here are a few other sites to check out for video:
  • Vimeo: Vimeo started off as a sharing tool for video producers and film directors; it's expanded, but I still find less "Charlie Bit My Finger" type videos and more videos like "Ray, A Life Underwater" on Vimeo.  
  • BlipTV: aims to provide video creators with a high-quality service for sharing their web shows.You'll find a lot of 'web series' TV shows here, I especially like the "Truth About Today" series.
  • TEDTalks: if you haven't explored TED Talks yet, take a few minutes and check it out. "Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world" and worth watching.
