Update for 2022\/23<\/strong><\/p>\n

For any assessment where you require students to create and submit a video, you should now be using the University’s approved media platform, YuJa.<\/p>\n

Students are able to upload their video files to YuJa and then embed the file into their submission to a Blackboard assignment.<\/p>\n

See Video assignments<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

YouTube is an external platform with which the University has no formal relationship.<\/p>\n

However the mechanics of uploading a video and sharing YouTube links are simple and likely to be familiar to many students. If students follow the suggested steps, there is very little danger of their work becoming visible to anyone not involved in the assessment process.<\/p>\n

Setting up the submission point<\/h2>\n

Blackboard assignment<\/h3>\n

This is the recommended tool for this type of assessment.<\/p>\n

Option 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

The simplest route \u2013 for both students and staff \u2013 is to tell students to paste their YouTube link into the Test Submission area of the assignment (see student instructions below).<\/p>\n

Markers can then simply click on the link to open it.<\/p>\n

\"Blackboard<\/p>\n

Option 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alternatively, students can upload a Word document containing the YouTube link. The document will display inside Blackboard and, again, you can simply click on the YouTube link to open it.<\/p>\n

Turnitin assignment<\/h3>\n

This could be used, but entails a more cumbersome workflow for markers.<\/p>\n

Students can upload a Word document containing the YouTube link. Although the document will display inside the Feedback Studio, you will need to download the file in order to click on the link and open YouTube.<\/p>\n
