YouTube is a great resource for educational content, but it also has less desirable parts...
How can be best incorporate YouTube content into our Schoology courses? Let's look at 2 possible options:
It is possible to copy the link from a YouTube video directly into your Schoology course, however, that will redirect student to the YouTube page complete with the starter ads, up next video suggestions, and any associated comments. As shown in the animation to the right.
Embedding your video into you Schoology course not only allows the video to be viewed in your course (without linking out to a new page), but it also gets rid of the ads, up next videos, and comments at the bottom of the screen.
As an added bonus, you can adjust the start and end time of the video when it is embedded in your course to help focus your learners on a specific part of the video.
