# How to create a Request Video Observation component in Learning Paths (Admin)

As an Admin or an author/moderator of a Learning Path module, you can assign an **Request Video Observation** component to help direct learners to upload materials and assign the materials to be observed by others. Through this component, learners can quickly be prompted to assign a video of their choosing for other individuals to then observe!

 

To implement a Request Video Observation component, first open a module. Add a new **Page** if needed and add a **Section** to that page. Then choose **'Add Component.'** In the list of components, choose the **'Request Video Observation'** component.

Once the component has been added to the section, **click on the 'Request Video Observation' component** to open its Edit view. Give your component a prompt title and a further description with instructions for your learner(s) to follow for how to send out the observation request.

Choose the **Data Form Template** you would like for the other user to complete for your learner when viewing the uploaded material. **You can also leave it blank for the learner to then choose their own template.**

Choose the **user or group** you would like to assign the completion of this form to. **NOTE:  By default, it will be set to the 'Moderator' of the module, but you can easily change this as needed. You can also leave it blank for the learner to then choose their own observer.**

Scrolling down further, you can then choose to provide an email message in the text box with instructions for the other users/groups who will be requested to complete the observation. This message will be forwarded to the assigned user(s) when the learner completing this component initiates the observation request.

**However, you can also leave this blank and allow the learner to type up the email message themselves.**

At the bottom of the component, you can:

- Mark this component as **'Required.'**
- Enable **whether or not the learner sending the Observation Request can proceed in the module until the requested observer completes the observation form**.
- You can even **hide observation scores** from the learner, if necessary.

 

If the learner is meant to immediately record a video session via this component, you can set a **buffer time** between 0 and 10 seconds before their recording session starts in the built-in recording tool of the website. You can even set a **maximum duration time** for the recording/video chosen to be observed.
