Step 3: Linking in Blackboard

• Link a YuJa Video using a Weblink and Embedding in Blackboard
  • YuJa provides the full embed code as well as the URL for each video. An embedded video shows the video in a play window rather than just the link. It is a good practice to include the URL along with the Embed code to increase accessibility for mobile devices.

    

    1. Navigate to your video thumbnail. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail and click More in the menu.
       
       
       
       
    2. Click on Links from the left menu.
       
       
       
       
    3. Under the heading "Enable Auto Single-Sign-On for Embedded and Direct Linked Media" select the Enable radio button. This will allow students to view these videos within Blackboard. Click the Save Links button, but do not close the window.
       
       Click on the Copy icon next to the Embed Code. This will copy the code to your clipboard on your computer.
       
       
       
       Do not close this window.
       
       
    4. Return to Blackboard in a new tab or window. Do not close the YuJa window.  Navigate to the Content Area/Folder where you want to link the video. Hover your mouse over the Build Content button. Click on Web Link from the menu.
       
       
       
       
    5. Title the video. In the text box, click on the source code icon < >.  Continue with the rest of the settings. 
       
       Note: The rows of icons are fluid based upon the size of your browser window. The source code icon may appear in the second row or third row.
       
       
       
       
    6. The Source Code window opens. Click on the first line. While holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, type v. This will paste your code in the box. Click the Save button at the bottom of the window.
       
       
       
       
    7. If you want to make the video player window larger, click and hold the blue box in the lower right corner and drag the box to the size you want. Click Submit at the bottom of the page.
       
       
       
       
    8. Return to YuJa.  Confirm that the "Enable Auto Single-Sign-On for Embedded and Direct Linked Media"  Enable radio button is still connected.Copy the Direct Link by clicking on the Copy icon.
       
       
       
       
    9. Return to Blackboard. Paste the Direct Link into the URL box.
       
       
       
       
    10. Click Submit at the bottom of the page.
        
        
    11. Students now have the embedded video to view, and the direct link to the video.
        
        
        

• Add Video to Blackboard for Grading the Percent Watched
  

  • YuJa will grade the percentage watched of a video. There are two options. If this video is worth 20 possible points:

    • Give full credit based on percentage watched. For example: if a student watched 90% of the video, they will get 20 points.
    • Give credit based on percentage watched. For example: if a student watches only 50%  of the video, they will get only 10 points.

    1. 1. Navigate to the video. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail and click More in the menu that appears.
          
          
          
          
       2. In the Media Details pop-up page, click on the Quizzes tab. Then click on Create Playback Quiz.
          
          
          
          
       3. Title the quiz. This will the the name of the link of the video.
          
          Click the first radio button for the student to receive full credit based on the percentage you designate.
          Or click on the second radio button to give credit based on how much of the video the students watched.
          
          Click the Create button at the bottom of the window.
          
          
          
          
       4. Return to Blackboard.
          
          
          

          Deploy a YuJa Video Quiz in Blackboard

          6. Edit the name of the video if necessary. The score will default to 100. Change that if necessary. Set the Due Date and other settings as necessary. It is good practice to add instructions that include the due date and points possible for the video quiz.
             
             
             
             
          7. Submit at the bottom of the page.
             
             

          Note: The grades may not transfer to the Grade Center immediately, especially the Analytics scores. Please allow extra time for those to transfer to the Grade Center. 

    Note: when students start viewing the video, the grades will not appear instantaneously. It may take a few minutes up to an hour for the grades to appear.

• Link a YuJa Folder in Blackboard

  • There are two ways to link to a YuJa folder:

    • Web Link
    • Embed

    A web link takes up less space but does not give the students a quick glance at the videos to watch.

    

    
    Embedded videos take up more space but give the student a quick glance at the videos to watch.

    

    IMPORTANT:

    Neither quiz results nor analytics will be recorded when linking a folder. If you wish to use quizzes and record analytics, you must use the YuJa LTI link in the Build Content menu for each individual video.
