Following on from the previous post of making printed course resources interactive, I thought I would make a short video using my iPhone and upload it to this wordpress site in my allocated media files area. Then I would create a QR code linking the url of the media file.
Then WordPress inserted a ‘But…’ It’s a simiar story when I try to embed an Audioboo.
I have to upgrade to use video, or upload video. I understand about server space and all that, but sometimes free blog sites are just so limiting, and I am not willing to commit to an annual (and no doubt increasing) fee to maintain one. So I looked around for a suitable (read ‘free’) video sharing site.
The one most recommended, and used by many industry websites too, is Vimeo https://vimeo.com/
So I have joined Vimeo, and created a channel, regant (follow me if you like). I’ve linked my new video to a QR Code using qrstuff.com and then added this image to the course flyer.
You can download the interactive flyer from my Dropbox Public folder and now I can email it to interested course participants 🙂 Yes, it’s not a prefessional video, but it’s a start 🙂
