Delta’s Guide to PlayPosit<\/h3>\n \n\n \n\t \t

When you are ready to try PlayPosit, start by adding a PlayPosit activity into Moodle. After your NC State account is linked to PlayPosit through Moodle you can also access your bulbs from www.playposit.com. Our license only includes adding videos from YouTube, Vimeo or Panopto. So videos you create yourself will have to be uploaded to one of those platforms before you can add it to PlayPosit. <\/p>\n\t \t \n
