With the aim of providing a more dynamic and customizable teaching experience, I present the Super Video Module, a tool that enhances Moodle's capabilities by allowing easy addition of YouTube, Google Drive, or Vimeo videos.

A notable feature of Super Video is its adaptability to Moodle. The video player automatically adjusts its width to avoid inconveniences, ensuring that the content is displayed in an optimized manner—neither too small nor excessively large. Say goodbye to the small and ugly YouTube player...

Additionally, Super Video prioritizes the continuity of student progress. The system automatically saves the point where the student left off, providing a seamless and personalized learning experience. When the student returns to the video, the player automatically positions them at the exact point where they paused, eliminating the need to search manually.

An additional innovation is the visual map bar located below the video. This bar provides a visual representation of the actual percentage of the video that the student has watched. This approach prevents the student from skipping to the end of the video without consuming all the content, promoting more careful viewing and a deeper understanding of the material.

Support for Distraction-Free Design

We are excited to announce that Moodle Mod Supervideo now offers support for Distraction-Free Design, addressing a recent community request (see issue #34).

The Distraction-Free Design has been developed to provide a more focused and immersive viewing experience, allowing users to watch videos without additional distractions. With this new feature, the interface elements have been simplified and reorganized, creating a cleaner and more minimalist environment.

Integration with OttFlix

The Super Video plugin now offers full integration with OttFlix, a secure video hosting and streaming platform equipped with advanced protection technologies against copying and piracy.

If you don't yet have an OttFlix account and want to protect your video lessons with DRM, dynamic watermarking, and full compatibility with Moodle™ Software, get in touch to request access to the platform.

Once your account is created, you can start uploading your videos directly to OttFlix and use them securely in your courses, ensuring a safe and reliable experience for your students.

Kapture 

Kapture has been added as a robust video recording platform, providing the ability to create video lessons quickly and conveniently, all within Moodle, without the need to install any software on the computer.

Now, it's possible to record both microphone and system audio, offering a complete experience. With features such as countdown, camera reversal, and camera size configuration, Kapture makes the creation of video lessons and tutorials more flexible and adaptable to the teacher's needs.

Furthermore, uploading slides, documents, and spreadsheets while recording the video lesson facilitates the incorporation of additional material, enriching the teacher's experience.

Kapture offers an integrated and efficient approach to video lesson production, simplifying the process and enhancing the options available to teachers in the Moodle environment.

Reports

Additionally, the Super Video generates comprehensive reports, providing instructors with valuable insights into student views and view maps. This detailed analysis enables continuous adjustments to the content and pedagogical approach, ensuring effective delivery of the material.

Global Settings

For administrators, the global settings functionality offers comprehensive customization. It is possible to set default fields for all videos, ensuring consistency throughout the learning environment. However, flexibility is not compromised, as instructors have the freedom to modify these data for specific videos without affecting global settings.

To access these settings, simply navigate to the Site Administration section, select "Plugins," then "Activity Modules," and finally choose "Super Video." Here, customization options are at your fingertips, allowing refined adaptation to the specific needs of each course.
