CLAS media (e.g., videos, audio, images, and PDFs) can be embedded anywhere in Canvas if:
- You are an instructor or TA in the Canvas course
- The media file is already uploaded to CLAS, since you cannot upload media to CLAS from Canvas using the plugin
- The Rich Content Editor is available in the Canvas section
Embedding Media from CLAS into Canvas
- From any Rich Content Editor in Canvas, click the plugin icon
- Select Embed CLAS Media
- Search for CLAS media by:
- typing search terms into the search bar
- filtering by media type (click the checkbox next to the media type you would like to filter for)
- sorting by creation date or alphabetical title (click the dropdown button to select between the options).
- Click Embed next to the selected media.
- Select the following options as applicable:
- Embed with link to “Discuss or annotate on CLAS.”
- Embed as audio only. You can either set maximum number of plays OR set a start and end time:
- Set maximum number of plays.
- Enter a number into the field next to Maximum number of plays allowed. Otherwise, plays are unlimited.
- You can set a time limit before the maximum plays allowed reset by entering the hours/minutes/seconds.
- To set a start and/or end time, select the radio button next to Set start and end time and enter the hours/minutes/seconds in the fields next to Start at and End at.
- Click Embed when you are done
NOTES:
- These embeds do not have persistent links. This means that student access to them will not be carried over for a Canvas course copy.
- If you will be adding a number of embeds throughout your Canvas course, consider creating a CLAS site that could be reused from term to term.
- For more information, contact your support unit.
