Sakai: Warpwire

Warpwire (Create and embed videos and audio files 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.
