Problem with Linking to Videos - Summer 2013

As a Summer 2013, linking to videos from Films on Demand does not work, so we recommend embedding videos instead.

Embed a Video

It is easier to embed films in Desire2Learn if you have two windows or tabs open.

In the first window/tab:

1. Go to the course where you want to embed the video.
2. Click on Content.

In a second window/tab:

1. From the LCC Library homepage go to the Research Databases page by clicking on Databases in the header of the page or at http://fish.lcc.edu/search/y
2. Click on the letter F under Browse Database Titles on the left.
3. Films on Demand will appear in the list of results. Click on the Connect link to open it.
4. Locate the film (or film segment) that you want to embed in your Desire2Learn course.
5. Click on the title of the film.
6. Click on the link Embed this Video below the video player.
7. Copy the complete Embed Code displayed.

Return to your Desire2Learn course site in the first window/tab:

1. Select the Module where you want to place the video and select New.
2. Then select New Document.
3. Enter a Title. Desire2Learn does not accept long titles, so enter just the first part of the title before the colon.
4. Select the Insert Stuff button from the HTML editor.

4. On the Insert Stuff screen, select Enter Embed Code from the menu on the left.
5. Then paste the copied Embed Code from Films on Demand into the Embed Code window..
6. Click Next. On the next screen click on Insert.
7. Publish the document.
