INTRODUCTION
This is one of a series of guides available from the Teaching, Learning & Assessment with Technology series. Please note, your faculty may have other approaches or use different tools, contact your Faculty TEL Officer for more information on local provision.
Video files are large and uploading them directly into KEATS is likely to slow down your KEATS page, frustrating your students. It is recommended that any video files are hosted on another platform and are linked within KEATS. To provide a seamless user experience you can embed videos directly into KEATS, so the videos display within your page and do not direct your students to another platform.
Inquiry Led Learning
A key goal for the Education strategy is around creating a learning environment that 'supports inquiry led learning'. To make a more active experience for students, instead of just loading a piece of content (like video, or a PDF), also accompany them with relevant reflective questions, such as:
- How does this relate to the key themes of the module?
- What are the key things I wish my students to reflect upon with this text?
- What questions do I want them to consider in looking at this?
And consider adding relevant questions along with the resource so that students engage with the content in a more active manner.
What this document covers:
This document covers embedding video from YouTube and Kaltura in KEATS.
Important Information:
In KEATS, it is important to use the correct text editor. It is recommended to use the Atto text editor as it allows for better compatibility with Kaltura at present. To check your text editor, under your profile in KEATS, check the editor preferences and select the Atto text editor here.
Accessibility considerations:
All media content should have closed captioning to allow students with audio impairment to understand what is happening in the video that has been embedded.

NB: If using the default text editor then the method above described in points 9 & 10 will not apply and there will be no pop-up window. Instead, simply click the HTML icon and then paste the HTML embed code from YouTube.
- Once you click Save and return to course button the video will be available for students to view and play.
This method is usually applicable to other video hosting platforms, such as Vimeo and Dailymotion. The locations of the ‘Share’ button may be different for other platforms, but the method will be largely the same.
