I would like to know what the procedure is to embed a pencast linked directly from the Livescribe website.

Hi George - I haven't used this but do they offer embed code for sharing? If so, that would work in Bb.

Paige,

Thank you very much for the quick reply.  I figured out how to embed the code last night after a few abortive attempts.  It works well.

Hi George,

 

Can you shed some light on how you got this to work. I'm interested in the Livescribe pencasts.

 

many thanks,

Ali,

I don't know how George may have done it, but I tried the embed code that's generated when you select the "Embed this file" link for the Pencast and pasted it into the text editor (in HTML mode) and it seemed to work.  I haven't done a lot of testing, though.  Have you tried that?

Sorry for the delay but here is the colution to embedding the material for Bb 9.1

  1. Go to the livescribe live page where your media is located and find the embedding code on the left of the page
  2. download the code and copy
  3. Open up your Bb site
  4. Open up the "build contents" tab
  5. select the "Item" tab
  6. Find the toggle button for the "HTML Source Code Mode"  (the button looks like this  [<>]  )  and press
    • you should now see the description screen turn yellow
  7. Insert the HTML embedding code you copied into the description screen and re-toggle the Code mode button   (  [<>]  )
    • this screen will now turn white and the code will disappear.
  8. Add your name and the description for the media you are to show and submit
    • you now should see the following message on your tiem fromt page
