What is a hyperlink?
Creating a Hyperlink to a Video Segment
A hyperlink is a text or graphic element that points to a specified web page or opens a digital file that has been saved on a
local computer or network server. After you have downloaded and saved Discovery Education
streaming video segments, you
can create hyperlinks using text and images. Users simply click the text or image hyperlink to open and play a video segment.
Hyperlinking is a simple way for teachers and students to play video files within a separate media player window that provides
access to player controls such as volume, play, pause, and stop.
Create a Hyperlink to a Video
The procedure involved in creating hyperlinks will vary with
certain software applications. The following steps apply to
documents created in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint:
1. Download a video segment to a designated folder.
2. Save your new or revised Word or PowerPoint document
in the same folder.
3. Highlight the text or select the image on the page that
you wish to use for the hyperlink.
4. Go to “Insert” > “Hyperlink.”
5. Click to select the video file that you wish to link to the
text or image in your document.
To test your hyperlink, move your cursor over the link. It should
change from an arrow to a pointing finger. In PowerPoint, you will
need to be in the “Slide Show” view to test your link.
NOTE: With some software versions, you may have to “Browse
for File” and navigate to your saved file.
6. Click “OK” when finished.
