1. Introduction to
Embedding Content
Getting Started with Minerva
Kirsten Thompson | OD&PL, University of Leeds

2. In this tutorial we are
going to explore how to
embed content hosted
outside of Minerva.

3. Make sure
Edit Mode is
ON.

4. Enter a
Content Area
e.g. Learning
Resources and
then enter a
Folder you
have created.

5. Content can be
embedded from the Add
Content area of the
Action Bar. Select
YouTube Video, listed
under Embed.

6. Enter the Search box with either
the title (for a particular video), or
keyword/s (be specific) and select
Go and the results will appear
below.

7. Identify the video
you want to
embed (you can
select the video’s
URL, which will
open the video in
a new tab to
check it) and
then
Select.

8. Customise how
the embedded
video displays
e.g. change the
Name (and
colour) and add
a Description
e.g. learning
activity
instructions,
accessibility info.

9. Content
Options:
Thumbnail
View will show
full size when
the View Link is
selected.
Embed video
will show the
video player
directly on the
page.

10. Associated files can be attached.
By default the video will be
available. Select Submit (or
Preview first, to check).

11. This is
how the
video
displays
using the
Embed
View.

12. This is how the video appears with Thumbnail
View. To change the View options, you will
need to add the video again.

13. In Thumbnail View, the video opens in a player
window and can be watched full screen mode.

14. You can
also embed
Flickr,
SlideShare
and
Mediasite
content in a
similar way.
