Setting Up JoVE Content with Canvas

Integrating JoVE content into your Canvas courses is quick and easy. There are several ways to do this, including embedding videos, using common cartridges, or using JoVE’s LTI tool. Below are the primary methods for setting up JoVE content in Canvas:

1. Embedding JoVE Videos

You can embed individual JoVE videos directly into Canvas pages.

  2. In Canvas, go to Pages and click the '+Page' button to create a new page.
  3. On the JoVE website, select the video you want to embed and copy the embed code.
  4. Return to Canvas, open the HTML Editor in the page, and paste the embed code.
  5. Save the page, and your video will be embedded and visible on your course page.

2. Loading a Common Cartridge File

A common cartridge allows you to upload multiple videos at once into Canvas.
