We’ve updated both the CourseMedia™ MediaViewer and VPS Projection System to take advantage of Google’s new YouTube API for ActionScript 3. All external YouTube videos are now treated just as native ALORA videos using the same display mechanisms and controls in both applications. Previously, YouTube videos required a user to native out of the current environment and into a separate web browser window to access the video.
Here is a short video demonstrating the new functionality:

To take advantage of the changes in the VPS Projection System, users must upgrade to version 1.3.2
Version 1.2.6 of the MediaViewer should load up automatically the next time you access CourseMedia™ but you may need to either refresh your browser viewport or clear the cache depending upon your configuration.
This afternoon, CTL released a new version of the DU Portfolio Community. Most of the changes this release are all under-the-hood and would not be easily noticed by our users, but there is one important addition to Portfolio Preferences this time around: Google Analytics support.
Google Analytics is the enterprise-class web analytics solution that gives you rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness. Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use features now let you see and analyze your traffic data in an entirely new way. With Google Analytics, you’re more prepared to write better-targeted ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives and create higher converting websites.
In order to use this feature, you must have a profile at http://www.google.com/analytics/ and generate a Web Property ID. You can then insert this ID into your Portfolio Preferences area as seen below. this will allow you to track pages and even individual item views in your Portfolio.
