learnIT Media

learnIT Media (based on Kaltura) is ITU's educational video platform. It is accessible via learnIT and videos are easily shared on courses and through learnIT activities.

learnIT Media is divided into the following areas

Browse & Embed

Text editor button for embedding videos from your media library

This is the interface used for embedding videos via activities and resources on learnIT. You access this area by locating the learnIT Media button within the text editor or using any of the included activities and resources; Quiz Video, Video Resource, or Assignment Video.

FAQ

Q: I want to add my video as a link on my course page instead of an embedded video player

A: It is possible to disable the embedding functionality of learnIT Media by disabling the filter called "Embed learnIT Media as a video player". This will, however, disable the embedding of video players from learnIT Media everywhere on your course, also on Page and Book resources as well as in fora and other activities.

Video Resource with custom title

A better solution, if you want to add links to a video resource, is to use the Video Resource from the Activity & Resource picker. By doing so, you will create a learning element from your video that will be presented with an icon and a text of your choice. This will make your video element stand out and be more easily noticed by your students.

Q: I would like to combine two or more videos into one

A: Unfortunately this is not supported by learnIT Media. In order to merge several videos into one, you would need to do it locally on your computer or portable device. In learnIT Media you can however trim and do basic editing of a single video. Afterwards, you can create a Playlist, linking the videos together in succession.
