How do I add a Mindstamp video to Schoology?
Short answer
Copy the address from the Mindstamp Basic iframe code. In the Schoology course, select Add Materials, then Add File/Link/External Tool, then Link, and paste it. Schoology shows a Link in an iframe inside the course unless you turn on Display in new window.
How to do it
Copy link to How to do it- In Mindstamp, publish the video from its Share page if it is not published yet.
- Under Embed, choose Basic iframe and select Copy embed code. Copy only the address inside src. It starts with https.
- In Schoology, open the course and select Add Materials.
- Select Add File/Link/External Tool, then Link.
- Paste the address and enter a title. Leave Display in new window off.
- Save, then open the link with a test student account. Play the video and use each interaction.
Use a Page to put text around the video
Copy link to Use a Page to put text around the video- Add a Page material and switch the editor from Visual to HTML.
- Paste the whole Basic iframe code where the video should show, and save.
- Schoology does not support script embed codes, so the Mindstamp Responsive and Popout codes do not work here.
If the Link says refused to connect
Copy link to If the Link says refused to connectSchoology frames a Link by default, and some pages do not allow framing. Check that you pasted the address from the embed code, not the Mindstamp share page address. If the Link still fails, edit it and turn on Display in new window.
Upload a SCORM package for a grade
Copy link to Upload a SCORM package for a grade- Schoology lists SCORM 1.1, 1.2, and 2004 version 4. It does not list the 3rd edition.
- On the Mindstamp Share page, under Export, select Download SCORM package. This needs a Core plan or higher. Choose SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 (4th edition) and a Completion Checkpoint of 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 or 100 percent.
- In the course, select Add Materials, then Add Package, then SCORM, and upload the ZIP file. Schoology accepts packages up to 10 GB.
- Turn on grading during the upload. Choose SCORM grading for one gradebook column, or SCO grading for one column per SCO.
If your account restricts embed domains
Copy link to If your account restricts embed domainsIf you set Allowed embed domains in Mindstamp, add your Schoology domain to the list. Otherwise students see “Video not available: Code 617”. See restrict embed domains.
Know which student watched
Copy link to Know which student watchedThe embed does not receive the student’s Schoology account. To see names in Mindstamp reports, add lead capture to the video so students enter their name and email. A SCORM package passes the name and ID from the LMS instead. See viewer identity and anonymous viewers.
