Dear TLT: Can I Embed a VoiceThread Lecture in OAKS Content?

Chris Meshanko

Dear TLT,

Is it possible to embed a VoiceThread lecture in OAKS content? I know my students access VoiceThread via the Multimedia Resources widget, to make comments, but what if my lecture is view only?

Sincerely,

Professor C. Connors

Great question! Yes, you can. To embed view-only VoiceThread lectures in OAKS content, follow these eight steps:

1.  Log into OAKS and open your course homepage. Click Access VoiceThread for this Course under the Multimedia Resources widget (on the right).

New Way To Use Stream with OAKS

Mendi Benigni

 

Multimedia service

STREAM, the College’s streaming media server, is a great way to stream large videos to your students via OAKS. The upcoming OAKS 10.3 upgrade requires us to make a minor change to how you embed these STREAM videos in OAKS. You will still upload your media to STREAM as you always have. The change comes in generating an embed code. When you go to the embed generators at http://it.cofc.edu/vvw/multimedia/stream/index.php you will now see a new OAKS option. If you wish to embed a Stream video to OAKS you MUST use this new OAKS Streaming Script Generator.

TLT provides tutorials on how to upload media to STREAM and how to use the embed codes in OAKS.
