You may also like to watch this video in You Tube on how to add a playlist to a Black Board course. This example was created by Palomar College. While it contains some instructions that are specific to Palomar College, many are helpful and relevant in general. In addition, we have created a second video tutorial showing you how to add your own comments to the playlists you created and to hide the provided text as an option. Click here to download this tutorial, or go to www.videatives.com/AddingCommentsTutorial.zip Changes to the "Hide Video Description" feature for playlists:The Hide Video Description editing feature for playlists has been updated. Instructors are now better able to distribute videos to students with our introductory text hidden, a more desirable format for class assignments and practice observations. In the past, a playlist with the Hide Video Description box checked would not hide our text if the student happened to be logged in to the institutional account (which is allowed). Now when a faculty member checks the Hide Video Description box for a particular playlist, anyone who clicks on that public playlist url will be switched over to Guest Access and see only the video. Of course, any student who has access to the institutional account via the auto login link we provided you or through your account username and password, will be able to view the full video library, including our text. Please let us know if there are any situations where this change interferes with your instructional format.
