    • Creating and Managing YouTube Videos (copy)

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

      • 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 generates closed captioning (although these must be edited to be accurate).

      • Verifying YouTube Accounts Page

        Before uploading videos longer than 15 minutes and to Go Live, users must verify their YouTube accounts.

      • Uploading Video from Your Computer to YouTube Page

        Follow these steps to get a video from your computer to YouTube.

      • Finding Zoom Recordings on You Computer Page

        Follow the steps on this page to find the video recordings of Zoom meetings saved to your computer. 

      • YouTube Live Page

        Those with verified Google Workspaces/ YouTube accounts can use YouTube live for recording.

      • Adding Closed Captions to Your YouTube Video Page

        All videos made available to the GCC community should be appropriately closed captioned.

      • 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.
