To post a video to a Blackboard discussion, you will need to do the following:
1. Record the video you wish to post.
2. Add your recording to your YuJa Media Library.
3. Create a new discussion board post and add your video.
This page outlines the processes and steps involved in doing each of these. Click the links on this page (blue underline text) for explicit instructions with screenshots.
Record the Video You Wish to Post
You have a wide range of recording options available to you.
If you need to capture your screen -- if you need to include PowerPoint slides in your video, for example -- we recommend using YuJa's browser-based recorder. Recording this way will not only let you record your screen and / or web camera (if you would like), it also automatically adds your recording to your YuJa Media Library, letting you skip step two.
If you only need to record yourself talking, you can also use:
Add Your Recording to Your YuJa Media Library
If you did not use a YuJa product (the Yuja Video app or browser-based recorder) to record your video, you'll need to add your recording to your YuJa Media Library.
If you need to get video into your media library from your phone, the YuJa Video app is the easiest solution.
If you recorded video on your laptop or desktop, you'll want to go to https://udmercy.yuja.com and click the LOGIN button to log in with your University Single-Sign-On username (your full email address) and password. Then, you can either browse for or drag-and-drop files from your computer into your media library.
This page outlines how to add videos from your computer to the media library in greater detail.
Create a New Discussion Board Post and Add Your Video
Finally, you'll want to get into your course site and find the discussion board where you need to add your video.
Click the box where it says Type a Response to get the text-box editor. To finish you'll need to find the YuJa media chooser, then select your video.
Get to the media chooser by clicking the + button and selecting CONTENT MARKET find the ADD VIDEO FROM YUJA MEDIA LIBRARY button.
Then you'll select your video from the media list and click the INSERT button.
