The advantage of this method is that students are prompted to login (if they are not logged in to BoB already) before being redirected to the video. This avoids having to remind them to log in to BoB first.<\/p>\n<p>If is still possible to use the embedded iframe technique (via &#8216;insert media&#8217; icon on the editor) providing the link is changed from &#8216;http&#8217; to &#8216;https&#8217;. The WAYFless URL would be the one to use for the reason cited above. <strong>You need to set the iframe width to at least 900 px to avoid cropping off the transcript box<\/strong>. As iframes containing external web site data are becoming less and less acceptable in new browsers, this probably isn&#8217;t the best way to go in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>Please speak to your LearnTech support if you have any difficulties, but be aware that this new site is new to us too so it would be worth checking the BoB help information first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/01\/newbob.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The New Year brings the new version of <a href=\"http:\/\/bobnational.net\" target=\"_blank\">Box of Broadcasts<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0with a host of new features:<\/p>\n<p> it now supports non-Flash web browsers by using an HTML5 player &#8211;
