So you've found a great video on YouTube you want to share with your students. You may have developed videos with the CreatED team previously which are now on YouTube Edu. You may even have shot your own piece of video and now wish share it with students via YouTube. However, there's one problem. YouTube itself. With it's estimated 35 hours worth of new video being uploaded every minute, it comes as little surprise that, if we ask our students to look at a YouTube video, they'll inevitably be distracted and this quickly lead to classroom management problems. There is also the issue that with literally years worth of video available, you may find a great teaching resource only to then delete the email you had the link in and, before you know it, it's disappeared into the vast videos vaults on their servers.Fear not Adam Smith staff, help is now at hand! After a successful pilot period during last semester functionality has now been developed by the eLearning Services teams allowing you to add YouTube videos to your class sites, stored in the Learning and Teaching Gateway repository and listed much like your current class materials.
So, if you have a video you wish to add simply fill out the form provided on the Repository page of the Learning and Teaching Gateway and email it to the elearningsupport@adamsmith.ac.uk
Be aware, current videos are subject to approval. An Online Media Guidelines, Procedures and Policy paper is currently under development.
Until then, before requesting a piece of online media, consult your subject colleagues and the curriculum head for the course you plan to use it for. Check the 3 A's, Accuracy (is the content correct), Appropriateness (is it suitable for the students you are delivering to) and Availability (we always recommend contacting the original uploader of the video to confirm they're OK with you re-posting the video)
