Vid Admin Info

Now you can help to improve the video library on Comprehensible Input Wiki!

Information:
The administration page is at https://comprehensibleinputwiki.com/ciwlibrary/vidadmin.php.

On that page, click Log In at the top of the page. If you haven't yet made an account on the wiki, you'll need to do so at this point.

Thousands of videos are part of the database, but most have not been enabled to be viewed on the wiki. The videos where the "Enabled" checkbox is unchecked are not currently enabled.


 * If the video is comprehensible input (see below), check the checkbox.
 * Make sure you set the language in the dropdown box as well. The video won't show up on the wiki without a language selection.

Choosing difficulty:


 * Please try to only set the difficulty if the video is in a target language that you are not at all familiar with. It is easy to think that a video is "Super Beginner" if you are familiar with the language, even though an actual beginner would find it much more difficult.
 * Difficulty levels:
 * Super Beginner: A brand new learner can understand all or almost all of what is being said, mainly through visual aids and context.
 * Beginner: A brand new learner can understand most, or more than half.
 * Intermediate: A brand new learner can understand some, or less than half.
 * Advanced: A brand new learner can not understand at all, or only very little.

Is it comprehensible input?

You'll know if your change went through because the video row will flash green. If it does not, make sure you are logged in. If it still does not flash green, please ask for support on Community Portal or email.
 * The video can be enabled if the content is all, or almost all, in the target language.
 * The video must be below the level of native content. (Slow speaking and/or visual aids)

Future plans:

 * "History" page, to make reverting to previous settings on a video easier.
 * Personal libraries, where you can save videos for yourself to make it easy to come back to them.
