How do I add Alexander Street videos to my Brightspace course?

Below are instructions for accessing Alexander Street videos using direct links in Brightspace.

1. Visit https://video-alexanderstreet-com.ccc.idm.oclc.org/

2. When prompted, log in using your CCC username and password

3. Search for your desired video(s).

4. For your selected video, click on “Share” at the top of the page.

5. Click the red “Copy Permalink” button at the bottom of the screen and then on “Copy” (under “Copy Permalink” heading)

The link displayed should begin with “https://ccc.idm.oclc.org…”

Note Do not select “Copy Embed Code.” The permalink option opens the content in a new window. This allows the viewer to resize the video and enable the transcript.

Note NOTE: Do not select the URL from the header bar in your web browser. The permalink option will build the correct URL so that the link will work correctly in your Brightspace classroom

6. In your Brightspace course, click on Content and access the module where you want to add the video link.

7. Click the blue “Upload/Create” button and select “Create a Link”

a. Give your link a title
b. Paste the permalink in the URL window
