learningBOX

Video materials have become an indispensable part of e-learning. This article explains how to use video materials in learningBOX. Two ways to embed videos in learningBOX There are two main ways to embed videos as learningBOX learning materials. Uploading videos to learningBOX itself Embed videos uploaded to external services such as YouTube and Vimeo in learningBOX. Uploading videos to learningBOX itself Advantages You can accurately record the playback time of videos. You can confirm that you have watched the video without skipping to the end. Videos can be protected based on your learningBOX account. Easy to use as you don't have to use multiple services. There are no advertisements, so you can concentrate on learning. You can change the playback speed. Disadvantages There is a limit of 30 MB per video for the starter plan and 500 MB per video for the standard plan. How to upload videos to external services Advantages High quality videos can be delivered even with the starter plan. Disadvantages Depending on the external service, advertisements may be delivered and you may not be able to concentrate on learning. There may be additional usage fees for external services. You will have to manage your external service and learningBOX account twice. Anyone who knows the URL of the external service may be able to view the videos. Recommended usage If you wish to use videos that have already been published on an external service as teaching materials, it is convenient to embed videos that have already been published on the external service as they are, but if you wish to distribute new videos using learningBOX, we recommend uploading the videos to learningBOX itself. We also hope that you will consider using the Standard Plan when doing so. Security and delivery stability We use Amazon Web Services' Cloud Front to deliver videos from more than 100 edge locations around the world, including the Tokyo region. In addition, a one-time URL with an expiration date is generated for each user at the time of delivery. We are looking for developers! If you are interested in developing functions such as those in the future updates, we are looking forward to your entry.

Nishimura. This week, we have been receiving an increasing number of video materials for registration on learningBOX. As a result, video encoding has been delayed for some time, which has been causing some inconvenience to our customers. Today, we have increased the number of video encoding servers to improve processing speed and optimize the video processing order. We will continue to develop this service so that you can use it as comfortably as possible.
