The following introduces steps required to add Lecture Capture content to a Quercus course shell. These instructions are for instructors who are participating in the EdTech Office's Lecture Capture Program but should work for anyone who would like to embed a video playlist into their course.
Should I use YouTube? YouTube is a great option for video streaming, as it is very reliable and familiar to students. However, if you are teaching an online or distributed class, you might consider using MyMedia to ensure that students in varied geographical areas can access the videos.
