Quercus Rich Media Files – Videos and Pictures

Federated Academic Digital Imaging System (FADIS)

The Federated Academic Digital Imaging System (FADIS) from U of T Libraries was originally designed to house high-resolution art and architecture images, but has expanded to serve all disciples. Images loaded into FADIS can be linked to from a Quercus course. Please visit FADIS for more information.

MyMedia

MyMedia, also from U of T Libraries, is an archival storage and streaming solution that provides an interface for uploading a wide array of video and audio file formats and for managing and sharing your media. It can be linked to from a Quercus course. Please visit MyMedia for more information.

OneDrive / MS Stream

Faculty and staff can use MS Stream to share video content using your OneDrive space. When logged into Microsoft 365 OneDrive , faculty and staff will find Stream as a playback option for any videos uploaded to your OneDrive. Please visit the Microsoft Stream video hosting Tool Guide  for more information.

YouTube

Not supported at U of T.  Please see the Tools Beyond Quercus resource for more information.

TSpace

A third option may be TSpace, a free and secure research repository established by University of Toronto Libraries to disseminate and preserve the scholarly record of the University of Toronto community. Instructors may have already curated an integrated collection that includes multi-media components, and can use TSpace to make that collection available to their students. Again, a TSpace collection can be linked to from a Quercus course. Please visit TSpace  for more information.

OneDrive in Microsoft Office 365

Instructors may also want to leverage their personal OneDrive (part of their Office365 account) to store media files, that can be linked to from their Quercus course. Each instructor has up to 1 terabyte of storage in their OneDrive account. Please visit the OneDrive support site for more information.
