Adding custom videos to Fusion courses

Custom videos can be added to Fusion courses to support the course material and make each course more personal for your users.

Using the upgraded MetaLearning Elements Library, you can browse available content, add it to your course as required, and now upload your own custom videos.

First of all, follow the steps outlined within the following article to begin the course creation: Creating a Fusion course.

When you are then ready to add your custom video:

  • Select +Add Learning Elements within the relevant section of your course.
