Creating and Managing YouTube Videos

• Creating and Managing YouTube Videos

  GCC recommends video content be posted to YouTube and embedded in Moodle using the ATTO text editor.

  • Select activity GCC'S IT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS FACULTY AND STUDENT...

    GCC's IT Department recommends faculty and students who are creating video content for teaching and learning upload their files to YouTube, then embed them in Moodle. 

    We do recommend:

    • Being aware that FERPA may restrict what video content should be captured;
    • Remembering Massachusetts is a "dual-party" state which means all parties must be aware recordings are being made;
    • Making all videos unlisted;
    • Once the video is no longer needed, delete it from YouTube.
      
      

    Some advantages of using YouTube to share video include:

    • Universal access (every digital device will display YouTube);
    • YouTube automatically closed captions videos (although these must be edited to be acceptable).

    Adding a YouTube Video to Moodle with the ATTO Text Editor Page

    The ATTO text editor is used throughout Moodle. Students and instructors use it when composing forum posts or replies, creating pages, and creating other content in Moodle. We have configured Moodle so that YouTube videos are automatically embedded in the text, so video appears without the need to click into YouTube. Further, the advertisements, comments, and recommended video that can distract us are not included when following the recommended steps.
