Content repository

Transcription

hey this is Brian with Instructure. I want to show you an example of the integration that's possible between the Canvas learning management system and Equella shared content repository. By integrating with the Equella content repository we make it possible to easily reuse content across courses. The process is the same as adding any other content let's go ahead and edit this page. You see the editor window here with all of our text the buttons along the top are all the same bold, italic, set font. So if you'll notice that we also have this Equella link icon that can be used to embed Equella content. So let's say I know there is a great video of the American flag in our Equella repository that i want to add to this page. I can scroll to the bottom of the page and I can either type in some text that I want to make into a link or if I don't provide that then it will just use whatever the name of the content is as the link. Then I click the Equella icon and this will bring up the Equella interface which should be familiar if you've used Equella before. Go ahead and search for flag and we'll see or search results here. In this case I know the first result is the one I want. This will bring up the results page we can select which format we want to include. Click select to embed it and the content will be added. So now this text is a link, and go ahead and click save changes and we see that link is now than added to the bottom of the page. And if i click on it we'll get an in page preview of the content. You can use this tool to embed videos, images, and documents anything contained in your Equella content repository.
