Southwestern Oklahoma State uses the Canvas management program to deliver web-enhanced and web-based online course options to provide distance learning opportunities for students. LibGuides fits into Canvas allowing links to specific tabs/pages as well as entire guides created to enhance the course with library resources.

LibGuides allows users to embed movies or slideshows that they have created.  It's easy! 

A slideshow can be created with screen shots of the content that are saved as slides in PowerPoint. Each slide can be saved as a JPEG and uploaded into a free web album such as Picasa.

After adding captions and selecting a size, the slideshow can be entered into the LibGuide using the Embed Video box type. 

Any videos and slideshows added to LibGuides must first be loaded to a hosted service such as YouTube, Teacher Tube, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, or Dance in Video. There are examples of each of these services throughout this guide.

LibGuides is a hosted service (with their own server). Without this service, the size of videos and slideshows would be cost prohibitive.
