Along with games and assessments, teachers can also add videos to assignments! Teachers can insert a video lesson from Legends of Learning, or insert a link to YouTube or Vimeo. After creating a draft assignment, you will have the option to add a video.
Legends of Learning Video Lessons
From your Assignment Builder page, there are two ways to add videos to your assignment.
OPTION 1: Select the Plus Sign within the Activities Bar and then select Video.
Next, click on Video Lesson.
OR
OPTION 2: Select the +Video button located above the Activities Bar and then select Video Lesson.
The videos relevant to your chosen topic will be viewable in the lower section of the page.
Hover over any of the available video tiles to see more information about the selected video lesson.
You can click on any video tile to get even more detailed information about the video lesson such as the recommended grade level, the duration of the video, and ratings.
Select the +Assign button to add any of the selected videos to your assignment.
Then selected video will then be visible within your Activities Bar.
Vimeo or YouTube Videos
From your Assignment Builder page, there are two ways to add YouTube or Vimeo videos to your assignment.
OPTION 1: Select the Plus Sign within the Activities Bar and then select Video.
Then select the YouTube or Vimeo option.
OR
OPTION 2: Select the +Video button located above the Activities Bar and then select YouTube or Vimeo.
Next, paste in a video link from YouTube or Vimeo.
NOTE: If adding in a YouTube Video, a slider will appear which will give you more control over your selected video start and end time for students.
Finally, click the Add Video Activity button to get your selected video added to your assignment.
You will then see the video within your Activities Bar.
When students start an assignment containing a video, the video will show up as an activity within the assignment, as shown below.
Students will not be able to go to the next activity until a span of time equal to the video’s length, as set by you, has passed. If you inserted a Legends of Learning video lesson, the entire video must play before student can move forward.
Students can then progress to the next activity by using the Next button that will appear above the video.
NOTE:
If YouTube or Vimeo is blocked by the network the student is using, if the video has been deleted, or if for any reason the video cannot load, the student will be notified and will be able to skip the activity. Teachers are also notified in the Live Assignment view that the video would not load for the student and that the video activity was skipped.
