Simple Video in Web Pages

Videos

As part of the Mentoring for elearning in the BCF this post show how easy it is to insert videos into content.

How they look, work and how easy they are to include them in your web pages and Moodle courses to show competency to students.

The “iframe tag”

This embeds your video as code and helps to save file size especially in Moodle which has a restricted file size of 8Mb. It opens up a frame in the web page and inserts the video into the frame.

CODE Example

Click on the link to go to YouTube.com and watch the video or click the Play triangle to watch video in the current page.

NOTE Remove the “Bold Red Characters” copy and paste code into a webpage to see it work

There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them heart to eye . There is some validity but I will take hold judgement until I look into it further. Good clause, thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner besides.
