Record and Publish Video with Yuja

The Media Library (YuJa) is the preferred way to provide students with pre-recorded video. It can also be used by students to share video, either in online discussion or assignment submission. This walkthrough shows how to locate the Media Library, add media items to the library OR record new video using the browser, and then publish those videos to a course (also known as a channel in Yuja).

Find Media Library [YuJa] Link

The Media Library is the starting point for managing your media collection on YuJa. You can use this page to upload and create media, view comments and analytics, and add videos to course-based channels.

When faculty access their Media Library from a link inside a course, they'll be presented with their media collection. When students access the media library from inside a course, they'll be presented with the course's media channel -- a list of videos published to the course channel by the instructor. 

Access the Media Library by clicking Tools in the course menu.

Publish Current Recording to Course Channel

While the ideal use of Media Library [Yuja] is to share individual media (such as videos) with a course by using the textbox and media chooser functions, you can also publish videos to a course (aka channel) and users would access them as a whole. Think of this use as a repository for media.

Note: You can also publish media after you've recorded or uploaded it. See these instructions.
