Share video files with my students?
You can find instructions for how students can share video files with instructors at https://help.mlc-wels.edu/books/new-to-online-learning/page/share-a-video-file-with-my-instructor and they work just as well for instructors. However, you can also create a folder with the proper sharing settings so that it is easy to upload files, grab the sharing link, and link in Moodle.
A friendly reminder, please default to storing as much of the large video files in your Google Drive account as possible at this time.
- Create a folder in Google Drive to share the files in. Give it a name you will easily remember so that you can come back and share more files in the future.
- Modify the sharable link settings so that you can share with anyone at Martin Luther College. This will make sharing the files in the folder really easy.
- Upload your files. Remember, please use Google Drive for any large files (like videos).
- Select the file and then select the sharable link settings. Copy the link from the resulting menu.
- Copy and paste that link wherever you'd like to share files with your students (probably Moodle).
That's really it. However, you can watch a helpful video as well to see it in action!
