Yuja Basics
Presenter(s): Michele Knight
Are you tired of using your personal YouTube account to upload videos for your students? Would you like to eliminate the commercials that appear in the videos you have uploaded to YouTube by transferring them to another source? Have you been waiting for a college-sponsored resource for uploading videos? Are you looking for a resource that makes generating and modifying video transcripts easy to make your videos more accessible? Would you like to make minor edits, such as cutting video or merging clips, but you lack video editing software on your computer?
YuJa is a college-sponsored resource for uploading video content that takes care of these issues. YuJa allows you to upload videos without using your personal YouTube account while providing a similar value in creating auto-captions with the ability to edit those captions. YuJa is a resource for uploading a video that is commercial-free, college sanctioned, and the software provides a simple interface for editing videos.
Divided into a two-part series of training, after Part 1 of the YuJa Training, you will review the steps to:
-
- Log onto YuJa
- Upload a video onto YuJa
- Organize YuJa Videos
- Link to YuJa Videos in Blackboard
- Embed YuJa Videos in Blackboard
- Upload a YouTube Video to YuJa
- Add Quiz questions to a YuJa video and score in the Grade Center
- Share Media with Another User
Please note that if you are interested in learning additional advanced YuJa Features, we will offer an advanced training titled YuJa Video Advanced: Adding Captions, Editing Video, and Viewing Analytics during April and May. This advanced training will cover editing YuJa Captions, Editing videos using YuJa’s built-in video editor, and YuJa video analytics.
The currently listed training, YuJa Video Basics: A College Sponsored Resource to Upload Videos for Your Students, is a prerequisite for this training.
While this training will cover the needs of faculty sharing instructional materials with their students, this training will also be helpful for MC staff who need to present or share video content. If you are an MC Staff and would like to learn more about YuJa, you are welcome to attend.
