Module 4: Embedding and Sharing

Why It Matters

Creating a video is only part of the process, students benefit most when the video is easy to find and watch right inside the course. Embedding your video directly into the LMS keeps everything in one place and helps students see your presence as part of the learning flow, not as an extra link. 

By the end of this module, you’ll be able to:

• Integrate videos strategically within course modules to enhance student presence and communication.

• Add interactive elements such as quizzes or reflection prompts to increase learner engagement.

• Reflect on how incorporating video supports instructor presence and builds a sense of community in online courses.

Key Tips for Embedding and Sharing

• Embed whenever possible: Students can watch the video without leaving the course page.

• Use consistent placement: Put your weekly check-ins or module introductions in the same spot each time so students know where to look.

• Add a brief description: A short text note under the video helps orient students

• Keep accessibility in mind: Double-check that captions are enabled before embedding.
