Brightspace – Video Note

Contents

As an instructor or TA, use Video Note in content, announcements, discussions, feedback, and more to personalize and engage students.

As a student, use Video Note in discussions, assignments, and written response quiz questions.

An instructor can attach or embed a Video Note.

While attaching a Video Note is less clicks to create for the instructor, it is more clicks for the student and is not visible in Grades or Class Progress. Embedding through HTML Editor a Video Note is more clicks to create for the instructor, it is less clicks for the student and is visible in Grades or Class Progress.

Go to the Content topic/module or discussion topic–anywhere there is the HTML Editor.
Select Insert Stuff and Search Video Note.
Put in the title of the video and select Search.
Select on the video once you have found it.

Closed Caption

Closed captioning makes videos more accessible to people who have difficulty listening to the spoken word like the deaf, ESL students, people in a noisy room, commuters on a bus…

Although when you are creating your Video Note you may have Automatically generated captions, they will need to be edited.
