When authoring a Learning Path module, you can embed videos, documents, or images by either inserting it into a Resources component or inserting it into a Text Editor component.

Embedding Videos/Files Into the Resources Component
Once you create a page in your Learning Path module and add a Section to it, it scroll down and click on the 'Add Component' button.
Next, choose the 'Resources' component.
Give the component a name, then click either 'Add URL' or 'Add Video/File' depending on the source of the file being embedded.
If you choose a specific video/file to emphasize, be sure to toggle ON 'Show Gallery View.'
Next, choose the file you would like to embed or upload a new file to embed. Click 'Continue' in the bottom, right-hand corner of the pop-up to embed the file in the component.
Embedding Videos Into the Embed Video Component
Once you create a page in your Learning Path module and add a Section to it, it scroll down and click on the 'Add Component' button.
Next, choose the 'Embed Video' component.
The Embed Video component allows users to watch an embedded video that is required for viewing in order to progress through the module. This is especially useful in situations wherein supplementary training is provided through the video, and quiz questions need to be accessed after the fact. If you do not mark the component as required, it can still be a useful tool for embedding a singular video to be accessed within the module!
First, click on the Embed Video component to modify it. To add a video file, click 'Select Video.'
Then choose the video file you would like to embed or upload a new video to embed. Click 'Continue' in the bottom, right-hand corner of the pop-up to embed the file in the component.
When all settings of the Embed Video component are marked 'Required,' watching the video will save the learner's progress in the video timeline as they watch it. If a learner happens to refresh their webpage or leave the module while the video plays, they will not lose their place unless there was a temporary disruption in their internet connection. A learner can rewind the video from their place in the video timeline, but they cannot progress past the point they have viewed up to. Once the video has fully completed, their module page will be allowed to be 'Marked as Complete.'
When all settings of the Embed Video component are NOT marked 'Required,' watching the video will still save the learner's progress in the video timeline as they watch it. If a learner happens to refresh their webpage or leave the module while the video plays, they will not lose their place unless there was a temporary disruption in their internet connection. A learner can rewind or fast forward the video to any point in the video timeline. The video will not be required to watch completely in order to mark the module page a 'Mark as Complete.'
At the top of these settings, add a prompt to guide the participant or provide a title to the video. You can then click 'Select Video' to embed a video that you have uploaded as an artifact.
- If you would like for the embedded video to be required viewing in order to progress past this page, toggle the 'Required to Complete?' button ON.
- If you would like to restrict a learner's ability to fast forward through the video, toggle the 'Disable Fast Forwarding' button ON.
Embedding Videos/Files Into the Text Editor Component
Once you create a page in your Learning Path module and add a Section to it, it scroll down and click on the 'Add Component' button.
Next, choose the 'Text Editor' component.
Click on the Text Editor component to modify it. In the top toolbar, click 'Insert File.'
Next, choose the file you would like to embed or upload a new file to embed. Click 'Continue' in the bottom, right-hand corner of the pop-up to embed the file in the component.
