If the own server is too much of a luxury, something like Vimeo is good. If you institution has its own video server, that is the best quality, access, distractions all under control. For the latter you need a proper video hosting solution.

There tiny "home made" clips, and deep, full-length lectures. I see that others have given you advice which tally with my observations.įirst thing, video is not video. I'm not video-oriented, still old-school text-based. I think I will use the legacy file system. I guess that there is a way of getting around it but by the look of their videos, the students do not seem to have managed it.ĭoes the repository have drag and drop these days (we are still on 2.9)? It is strange that the "legacy" file system has a better uploading mechanism than the newfangled repository. I use code that allows for their being played back only once.

There may be an educational discount.īut I think I would prefer to keep them on Moodle. The Vimeo option is better and I see there is a plan that would be adequate for only about 20usd a month. If my question videos were on YouTube some or many of them would play the video, prepare, then play it again on YouTube. So I have a random selection of 20 or more video questions to which they must respond extemporaneously starting their video prior to pressing play on mine. If I tell them what they have to speak about prior to their making a video they prepare what they are to say and do not improve their fluency. I did consider YouTube but the videos I am thinking of are for the purpose of giving students English conversation practice.
