Information Services is discontinuing support for video files hosted directly on Moodle beginning in winter 2021. This applies only to video files that have been uploaded or drag-and-dropped directly into Moodle. It will still be possible to link or embed videos from other services such as Microsoft Stream and YouTube.
In response to the increase in online learning, we are taking this action at this time with the following considerations in mind:
- Video on a streaming platform (Microsoft Stream, Vimeo, YouTube, etc.) is preferable and more accessible for students.
- Microsoft Stream is now able to host streaming video content for courses at the College without using another outside service. If you have questions about how to use Stream and manage its permissions, please refer to the Video streaming page on the Information Services website.
- Hosting video files directly on Moodle has caused intermittent errors, disrupting service for Moodle users.
Our staff will be contacting faculty members who might need additional support hosting video files for the winter courses. You are welcome to contact us as well. Please send your questions to Josh Moon, Educational Technology Specialist.
