Summary

Below you will find information, hints and manuals for dealing with videos in moodle.

These instructions are intended for users of the e-learning platform of the University of Jena according to their roles and rights.

Damit Sie Videos mit Opencast in Ihrem Moodle-Kurs einbinden können, benötigen Sie zunächst den Block Opencast Videos, den Sie wie folgt zu Ihrem Kurs hinzufügen:

Im Moodle haben Sie die Möglichkeit, ein vorhandenes Video hochzuladen, um es dann für Ihren Kurs verfügbar zu machen. Folgen Sie dazu diesen Schritten:

Neben der Option, ein bereits vorhandenes Video hochzuladen, können Sie auch direkt aus dem Moodle heraus ein eigenes Video aufnehmen. Folgen Sie dazu diesen Schritten:

Wenn Sie Ihre hochgeladenen Videos mit Untertiteln versehen wollen, dann folgen Sie diesen Bearbeitungsschritten:

Die Videos, die Sie zu Ihrem Kurs hinzugefügt haben – durch Hochladen oder Aufnehmen – sind für Ihre Kursteilnehmer noch nicht sichtbar.

Damit Ihre Kursteilnehmer die Videos auch sehen können, müssen Sie diese in Ihren Kurs einbetten oder platzieren. Dazu stehen Ihnen die folgenden drei Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung:

Sie können bereits vorhandene Videos (aus einem anderen Kurs oder anderen Semester) wiederverwenden. Allerdings ist es nicht möglich, Videos per Sharing Cart oder die Kurs-Wiederherstellen-Funktion zu kopieren. 

Stattdessen müssen die Videos neu in den Kurs importiert werden. Folgen Sie diesen Schritten:

In order to be able to embed videos with Opencast in your Moodle course, you first need the Opencast videos block, which you add to your course as follows:

To embed videos in your Moodle course with Opencast, you first need the Opencast Video block, which you can add to your course as follows:

1. Switch to one of your courses in Moodle. Then click on activate editing in the upper right corner.
   
   
   
   

2. In the left area - where your courses are listed - at the very bottom the button add block appears.
   
   
   
   

   Warning
   If you don't see this button right away, scroll all the way down! If you have many courses, the list on the left may be very long, the button always appears at the bottom. So don't forget to scroll.

   
   
   

3. Click on add block and select the Opencast Videos option in the dialog that opens to add this block to your page.
   
   
   
   
4. The new block will now appear in the window at the top right.
   
   
   
   

5. You are using the recording technology in one of the lecture halls and you would like these videos to be placed in your Moodle course? So that we can set this up for you, you have to set up a one-time connection to the Opencast servers with Moodle. This is done by creating a new series. In the Opencast block you go to overview ... and then to create new series.
   
   Alternatively, you can also record a short test sequence of a few seconds in your course via "Record video".
   
   Please provide the MMZ (mmz@uni-jena.de) with the course ID. This means that we have all the information we need about your course in the Opencast system and can link the videos from the lecture halls.
   
   

In Moodle you have the option of uploading an existing video in order to make it available for your course. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click add video to open the video upload dialog.
   
   
   
   

2. Enter a meaningful title in the Metadata area and add (optional) additional metadata. To do this, click on show more ...
   You can enter further information in the extended dialog.
   
   
   
   
   
   

3. There are two main sections under the upload file section - choose one option:

   (1)  Presenter video
   Use the presenter video if you have a video file with a recording of a speaker or a film.

   (2) Presentation video
   Use the presentation video if you have a video file with the recording of a slide presentation or a screencast.
   
   
   
   

   Info
   Uploading two videos can be useful if an Opencast Studio upload has failed and you want to manually submit your saved videos.For this purpose, the corresponding dialog would then have to be used for your video image and the presentation.

   
   
   

4. After completing the upload process, click save changes to complete the process. Opencast will now process the video in the background.
   
   
   
   

5. On the following page you can see the overview of your videos. Here you can control further actions - e.g. add another video or record a new video.

   If you do not want to take any further actions here, click on your course on the left to return to it.
   
   
   
   

6. Your video will now appear in the Opencast Videos block.

   Click on overview... to get to your video overview and to make changes if necessary - there are a few options available (e.g. visibility; delete).
   
   

   Warning
   Please note that processing may take some time at peak times.

   
   
   
   

 In addition to the option of uploading an existing video, you can also record your own video directly via Moodle. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click record video to switch to the Opencast Studio user interface.
   
   
   
   

2. The use of Opencast Studio is described in detail in the section Instructions for Using Opencast Studio.
   
   
   
   
   
   

   Info
   The advantage of recording a video directly from Moodle is that the video is automatically assigned to your course in the background and stored there.

   
   

   Warning
   Please download the video file for your own backup before uploading it to Opencast Studio. This is the only way to add the video to your course afterwards with a manual upload (see upload video manually) in the event of a failed upload.

   
   
   

3. After a successful upload, the video will also be processed in the background and then made available to your course.

   Your video will now appear in the Opencast Videos block.

   Click on overview... to get to your video overview and to make changes if necessary - there are a few options available (e.g. visibility; delete).

The videos that you have added to your course - by uploading or recording - are not yet visible to your students. 

 In order for your students to see the videos, you need to embed or place them in your course. You have the following three options:

You can reuse existing videos (from another course or other semesters). However, it is not possible to copy videos using the sharing cart or the course restore function.

Instead, the videos must be re-imported into the course. Follow these steps:

Um in den Moodle-Kursraum eingebettete Videos abzuspielen, nutzen Sie den Player, der im folgenden kurz beschrieben ist.

Der Player

To play videos embedded in the Moodle course room, use the player that is briefly described below.

Opencast Studio ist eine spezielle Nutzeroberfläche, die es jedem registrierten Nutzer ermöglicht, ohne zusätzliche Software Aufzeichnungen vom Desktop und/oder des Kamerabildes mit Ton direkt aus dem Webbrowser heraus aufzunehmen und zu publizieren. Ein Upload in die DBT ist an dieser Stelle nicht notwendig.

Das so erstellte Video kann im Anschluss ohne Schnittsoftware direkt im Browser bearbeitet (trimmen und Pausen entfernen) und in verschiedenen Layouts publiziert werden.
