Add a video

1. Open the training path, then the section where you want to add the step.
2. Click “Add a step”.
3. Choose “Video”.
4. Paste the address in “Media URL”, or click “IMPORT A FILE HERE” to upload an .MP4 file (200 MB maximum). Accepted addresses are the same as for a video in a course: see Insert a video.

Set up the step

Once the video is recognised, it appears in “RELATED CONTENT” and the “Duration” is filled in automatically from its length. Fill in:

• the “Title” (required);
• the “Modality”: “Video” by default;
• if needed, the “Miniature”.

Set up the advanced options

In “ADVANCED OPTIONS”, at the bottom of the panel:

• “Conditions of access”: “Always accessible” (default), “Validate first...” (then “…the previous step” or “…all previous steps”), “From…” or “Until…”;
• “Include the step in the calculation of the total mastery”: leave it off; this type of step does not provide mastery (only Teach Up modules, assessments and SCORM packages do);
• “Validation condition”: “The learner has clicked on the video”.

These options are explained in Create a training path.

What the learner sees

By clicking the tile, the learner opens the video in the training path. The step shows “Completed” as soon as they have opened it, even if they do not watch it to the end.
