- JoVE helps students visualize labs, experiments, and scientific concepts that may be difficult to demonstrate in class.

Add JoVE Videos to Webcourses@UCF
Faculty can add JoVE content to Webcourses@UCF in multiple ways. The most common options are to link content through the JoVE Canvas LTI or import JoVE content using a Common Cartridge or QTI file.
Student Access
Students do not need to create a JoVE account to access JoVE content added directly to your Webcourses@UCF course.
If students want to use the JoVE website directly, they should create a free JoVE account with their UCF email address so JoVE can recognize their UCF affiliation. When creating an account, students should follow the same general sign-in steps and select Student as their role.
If students experience technical issues when accessing JoVE content in your course, refer them to the FAQ on the Support tab or Webcourses@UCF Support for assistance.
Support
JoVE’s Customer Success team can help faculty identify JoVE videos that align with their courses. They can provide general syllabus maps or create customized curriculum maps that connect your course topics, readings, or learning objectives to relevant JoVE content.
Before requesting support, faculty may also explore existing JoVE playlists mapped to OpenStax, textbooks, and common courses.
If you would like help mapping JoVE content to your course, use the curriculum mapping request to set up your course and request support from JoVE’s Customer Success team.

FAQ
Why are my students being asked to log in to view JoVE content?
Students may be prompted to log in if the video embed code was retrieved while signed in with the general “University of Central Florida user” account instead of a personal JoVE account.
If this happens, students can select LOG IN in the upper-left corner of the video, choose Sign in, and then refresh or return to the Webcourses@UCF page. After signing in, they should be able to view the full video.
To avoid this issue, faculty can sign in to their personal JoVE account and retrieve the correct embed code before adding the video to Webcourses@UCF.
Can I add a direct JoVE link to my Webcourses@UCF course?
We do not recommend adding direct JoVE links to Webcourses@UCF because they may cause access issues for students. Instead, add JoVE content through the JoVE LTI tool or import content using a Common Cartridge file provided by JoVE.
Can students access JoVE content directly on the JoVE website?
Yes. Students should create a free JoVE account using their UCF email address and select Student as their role. After creating an account, they can access JoVE content on the JoVE website and create or manage playlists.
Do students need a JoVE account to watch videos in my
Webcourses@UCF course?
Students do not need to create a JoVE account to access JoVE content added directly to your Webcourses@UCF course. If they experience technical issues when accessing JoVE content in your course, refer them to Webcourses@UCF Support for assistance.
Do I need a personal JoVE account to add JoVE content to
Webcourses@UCF?
Yes. A personal JoVE account is required if you plan to use the JoVE Canvas LTI or import JoVE content in Webcourses@UCF. Faculty can create an account using their UCF credentials. See the Faculty account creation guide in the Access section.
