3C Media Solutions App

Setting Up an Account 

3C Media Solutions allows LPC faculty to create a free account for uploading, storing, captioning, and sharing instructor-created videos. By using the 3C Media app, you can embed your videos in Canvas. The instructions below show you how to register a new account using the integration tools within Canvas.

1.  Open the Canvas course in which you want to add a video.
2. In the course navigation, click the Settings link.
3. At the top of the page, click the Navigation tab.

Scroll down to locate 3C Media and click on the three dots (1), then click +Enable (2). Remember to click Save (3), and now 3C Media will be in your course navigation menu.

 

 

Click the new 3C Media link in your course navigation. A window opens with instructions. You should see your LPC email address (this must be a laspositascollege.edu email account, not Gmail or any other type of email.) Create a password, and click Create Account.

Uploading Videos

In the new window that appears, click on "Add some now" to upload your video.

Click Add/Upload (1), click on Upload Media (2), and a new window pops up. Click Select file (3). Once you have found and selected your video file, click Upload (4). You can view the progress of the upload.

Captioning Videos

Once a video has completed uploading, you should request captioning by clicking on the Gear Icon (1) to the right of the title, and select Captions (2). Proceed to fill out the request form; captioning can take 3 - 5 business days. You can still insert the video into your course at this time (Do Not click Publish yet). The captioning will sync automatically to the video once it is processed.

Note:  Only use the Publish Button if you want the students to access your list of videos via the 3C Media link in the course navigation. The best practice is to follow the instructions below to add the videos into a Module, Page, Assignment Discussion or Quiz.

Adding Videos into a Course

Videos uploaded to 3C Media can be added into a course via the Rich Content Editor using the External Tool link or as a direct link in a Module.

Embedded Video

To Embed a video , click on the External Tools icon in the Rich Content Editor, and select 3C Media.

A window pops up with a list of your video uploaded to 3C Media. Click  the Insert button of the video you want. Click Save.
