    How do I use Course Pacing?

    Manual Course Pacing
  • Each video and audio file includes an embed code and public link that you can use for showing media in public websites. Located in the Sharing options for a video or audio file, public links and embed codes do not include comments. Additionally, public links and embed codes are not authenticated so they cannot track viewer data in Arc.

    This lesson shows you how to get a link or embed code directly from the My Collection page. However, when you own a medie file or a user has shared a media file with you, the link and code are also available when viewing media.

    Notes:

    • Viewing public links and embed codes is an account permission. If you are not able to view the Links tab, your institution has restricted this feature to all users except Arc admins.
    • If you want to include comments when embedding media, you need to embed through the Arc LTI tool. Learn how to embed media in Canvas.

  • You can use the auto-open inline preview for files in the Rich Content Editor. Canvas can preview any file that is supported by the document previewer. The Rich Content Editor is used in features that support the editor (Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, or Syllabus).

    Notes:

    • You can have multiple files auto-open, but you have to go through the steps in this lesson every time you want to add another auto-open file preview in a feature that uses the Rich Content Editor.
    • In Pages and the Syllabus, the Content Selector sidebar includes visual style updates and content section pagination. However, the overall functionality of the Content Selector throughout Canvas is the same.
  • You can use the Rich Content Editor to upload a video. The Rich Content Editor is used in features that support the editor (Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, or Syllabus).

    Canvas allows you to upload supported media types.

    Canvas videos also support caption files. Once you upload a video, learn how to add captions to a video.
