Synopsis

The Moodle Multi-Embed filter automatically turns URLs from supported services into embedded content, without any user input. By using the Moodle Multi-Embed, Moodle users (e.g. teachers) do not need to know how to 'embed' objects from other sites, they only need to know how to copy/paste a URL into their Moodle content, using the standard Moodle editor. The initial release of this plugin supports 14 services.

Example

For example, if this URL is pasted in the Moodle editor https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_can_we_build_ai_without_losing_control_over_it it will automatically turn into this

Motivation

I have created this plugin to help teachers embed content more easily into their Moodle courses. Many teachers I have worked with want to make their Moodle courses more interactive with content already available online, but do not always have the technical know-how to make it happen. Whilst this tool was created to help novice users, all users may appreciate the few clicks that this tool saves in the course creation process.
