You can easily put youtube or google videos on Moodle either in one of the boxes on the left, right, or center by doing a simple copy and paste.

1. Turn editing on and then hit the edit icon(the pencil) in the box you want to add the video.

2. Next hit the "toggle html source" button located next to the spell checker. Looks like this - <>.

3. Now copy and paste the embed code for the video. In youtube this is located below the url.

4. You may want to change the dimensions of the video. In the code you will see the same numbers appear twice. I recommend changing them to 195 for width and 170 for height. Remember to change them twice for the two times they appear in code.

And there you have it, takes no time and you can post your assignments via video, record lectures, even give video based tests(we'll get into that one later)

Access is controlled through the use of Access groups and this is one of the most powerful features of Elgg. Access groups allow you to have complete control over who sees what within your environment. You can create as many access groups as you wish. Each access group can have as many of your friends as you like and each access group created becomes another option in the 'access restriction' drop-down menu beside each profile item, weblog post and file uploaded.

When you create an access group, add people to it then select it as your access restriction on a weblog post only the people in that group will be able to see that weblog post and so on for all elements in your learning landscape.  The access control option is found under "your network".

Here's a blast from the past.  Now these guys are super cool LA students, but we still remember their humble beginnings. Part 2 is coming soon!!!
