Becoming familiar with the various mainstream learning management systems (LMS’s) is imperative when in the modern-day teaching world. There are several techniques to take heed of in order to make this learning experience as hassle-free as possible. One trick is to always choose traditional media sharing sites for embedding in order to avoid any content errors. Some mainstream sites would be YouTube for video-related content, or SoundCloud for audio files that you want to give your students access to.
