From the Activity Feed, you can post messages for learners and add attachments, for example, reminders about upcoming assignments and links to unit materials. You can add attachments by copying and pasting a web link or embed code, or using the attachment icons. For a rich and immersive experience, most attachments can be previewed, viewed, or interacted with directly in the feed. For example, web links show a thumbnail and description, if available. Images uploaded from your computer, remote plug-in attachments, and videos embedded from YouTube, Vimeo, and TED display directly in the feed and can be viewed without leaving the unit homepage.
Note: The Activity Feed only renders embedded material that administrators have set using the Trusted Sites tool. If you attempt to embed an untrusted site, the material is attached, but as a non-embedded web link.
