External media

To each question type an 'External Media' component can be added. This allows you to use media from external sources such as YouTube, Vimeo, SlideShare, or other sources using the OEmbed standard. By entering a URL from one of the supported sources, the preview can be used to see if the media is displayed correctly.

When using external media, there is another level of control over the content, compared to the Mediaplayer in Remindo. For example, if the external media is offline, it will not be possible to display it in a test. Therefore, consider both options when developing a test.

Settings

The external media is added when creating (or editing) a question. From the drop-down list, select 'External media' and then click 'Add'. This will place a new field in the question overview.

On the right side of the screen, insert the URL that will lead directly to the video. With YouTube, this is the normal URL that leads to the video, but it may be different with other websites. Remindo has a 'Show Preview' button to test if the video is loaded correctly.
