In LearnWorlds, you can enhance your courses by integrating YouTube videos as learning activities. This feature allows you to embed YouTube videos directly into your courses, providing an interactive learning experience for your students. If you already have your own YouTube channel, you can seamlessly include your YouTube videos in your courses.
You can create YouTube learning activities using the YouTube embeddable code. This article outlines the steps for creating such activities.
Examples/Use Cases:
- Embed tutorial videos to supplement course content.
- Share interviews or expert talks relevant to your course topic.
- Include educational videos to illustrate complex concepts.
- Add motivational videos to inspire students.
- Integrate multimedia content to create a blended learning environment.
Create the YouTube Learning Activity
1. Go to the Course outline tab of your created course.
2. Click on Add an Activity under the selected course section.
3. Choose YouTube under the Multimedia category.
4. Give a title to your video and click Save or Save and Edit to start making changes right away.
Add the Embed Code
1. Find the video on YouTube, click on the Share option, and then on the Embed tab.
3. To paste the embeddable code, go back to your LearnWorlds school and edit the YouTube learning activity. Hover over it and click on Settings (if you have clicked on Save and Edit in the activity creation process, skip this step).
4. Paste the YouTube embedded code and click on Save.
Notes:
- You can enable Password Protection for this learning activity, making it accessible only to users with the password.
- Users can click the YouTube link/URL to watch the video externally on the YouTube platform. However, if they do this, their progress in the YouTube learning activity will not be tracked in LearnWorlds, as they are watching the video outside the LearnWorlds Course Player.
- To prevent students from fast-forwarding the video, disable the Show player controls option when generating the embed code.
