YuJa is the media management system for UC Santa Cruz. YuJa can record, edit and host videos online. If your class has recorded lectures (either pre-recorded, or recorded in-class videos called Lecture Capture), you are watching those videos through the YuJa video player.
Students can also have their own YuJa accounts to create, store or share videos. Access your account by clicking on YuJa from the course navigation in Canvas, or at media.ucsc.edu.
Digital Scholarship can help with video production for assignments.
For troubleshooting or to report issues with YuJa, email yuja.help@ucsc.edu. Include the name of the course, the name of the video (or assignment/quiz), and any error messages or screenshots of the issue.

YuJa Quizzes
YuJa Quizzes
Some YuJa videos have integrated quizzes. This is how they work:
Play the video in Canvas. You can see how many interactions (questions) there will be in the video, and when they will be, on the bar underneath the video.
When a question appears, the video will pause automatically for you to answer. The question mark on the bar will turn blue to indicate it has been answered.
Once all questions have been answered, click Submit so that your answers are recorded.
