Warpwire (Create and embed videos in Sakai)

Warpwire is a streamlined, easy-to-use tool that allows instructors to quickly create and display videos in their Sakai courses.

  • After an instructor adds the Warpwire tool to their Sakai course, their course is assigned its own "Media Library".
  • In the Sakai Text Editor, such as in Lessons, instructors can click on the Warpwire icon on the Text Editor toolbar, create a video, and display their video to their students. The video is stored in the course Media Library.

Importing Warpwire Content to Another Site

When you import course content from one Sakai site to another, there are additional steps you must take to ensure that your Warpwire content will be viewable by students in the new site. See detailed instructions below.

More Tips & How-to's

Recommendations for Instructors

  • We strongly recommend that you EMBED Warpwire videos; do NOT only "link" to them. Why?
    • Embedded videos in Lessons will be imported and will display to students; imported links to Warpwire videos will not work for students.
    • If you embed videos in tools other than Lessons, after import, you'll need to update the embedded videos "links". Only Lessons embedded videos are displayed to students.
  • Though Warpwire allows you to upload images to your Media Library, we recommend using Sakai’s image button rather than Warpwire to insert (embed) your images in Sakai. Why?
    • In Sakai, you can add alt text to your images. In Warpwire you can NOT add alt text to images.
  • When you need to create audio content, we recommend that you use Sakai's audio recorder.
    • Sakai will import your Sakai audio recordings that were displayed in Lessons and in Tests & Quizzes questions. Sakai will not import Sakai audio recordings displayed in other tools, such as the Overview/Home page, the Syllabus, Forums or Assignments. Instructors can see the videos; but students can not!
    • Your students can continue using Sakai's audio recorder.
  • Due to the nature of emails, do not embed (display) videos in your Sakai emails.
  • Warpwire’s Live Broadcast feature is not supported at this time.
