Think of Content as the hub of your course, allowing you to organize and structure the course experience for your students. | ||

| - | How to Manage Modules and Topics: | + | If you are thinking about adding a video to your course, you can use [[https://www.macvideo.ca]], or Stream within the Microsoft Office 365 suite of tools. Alternately, use Vimeo, or YouTube to host your content externally and embed the video on a page in Content. Remember to respect copyright and accessiblity laws when you are using other's work as a part of your course. For more information about copyright at McMaster, please go to http://www.copyright.mcmaster.ca/ . For more information about accessibility please go to http://accessibility.mcmaster.ca/teaching-accessibly . Below is a video demonstrating how to embed a video or create content from scratch in D2L which we call Avenue to Learn. The process for embedding a video from YouTube and almost any other video streaming site is the same. |
