What’s a Wrapped Video?
This?
You’ve already used that joke!
It isn’t a joke; It’s a theme!
Wrapped video…
• Provides additional information beside the video– including links to other resources
• Pauses automatically at selected points– i.e. at the end of a ‘section’
• Each section can have different information
Ok, so why do I want it?
• Add extra information
• Provide contextual information and links
• Break a video into discrete sections
• Prompt viewers with questions
• Works on any embeddable video
How do I create them?
• Two main methods
• A very manual and techie, but flexible, way
• A more use-friendly, but structured, way
The Techie Way
• Create a structured JavaScript Object Notification (JSON) file – or several.– Manually managing relationships between
multiple records.
• Create HTML and CSS files to present the video and information
• Package with all required support
files

Who Do I Need to Pay for This?
