Moving Canvas Video Assets to Box.psu.edu

I’ve finally begun a project with our multimedia specialists to move our video content in Canvas to Box.psu.edu. We have a few courses that include downloadable video files as stored assets within Canvas. We were still working out our workflow at the time, and we decided that we need to do something better that our default.

Some of our students are commuting and prefer to have videos on their devices so that they can watch the content while on-the-go. By using Box.psu.edu, we have unlimited amount of storage to put our video assets for students. Box provides revisioning, access from various platforms, syncing to the cloud, collaboration, and more. We’re currently using College resources to store live and working documents and while that’s been great in the past, we’re enjoying new functionality with Box.

I’ve created a screencast of a discussion about what an initial workflow will look like. Howard is going to start and document changes as he goes.
