• Add web links using the link icon to the left of the paperclip

• Upload your own video through Kaltura by Clicking on the button > and selecting the Content market (note: do not try to embed an .mp4 directly in the submission as it will be too big)

• Add a YouTube video by clicking on the button > and selecting YouTube video

5. Click Save and Close if you want to save your work as a draft. If you're ready for your instructor to grade your work, click Submit.

Note: If you do not Submit your assignment, your instructor won't receive your completed assignment.
