ITS recommends requesting a Course when recording/Live Streaming in a classroom. A course utilizes the Active Learning Platform with various tools to engage your students.
Media types that can be published to a course:
- Video
- Interactive media (videos with embedded polls) allows students to only answer once.
- PowerPoint presentation/PDF (you can control polls during your class and gather feedback.)
Instructors can access their EchoVideo course as well as their account (Library, previous Courses, Collections, etc.) when clicking on EchoVideo in Canvas course menu.
Media published to a course is accessed via the EchoVideo tab in the Canvas course navigation menu and it is where students will see a list of all class lessons including accessing a Live Stream class(es). Published media to a course can only be accessed by students in the current term because an EchoVideo section has the same semester end date as Canvas.
When students access the Classroom video player the media is access from the tab in Canvas's course menu. The Classroom engagement tools include Discussion, Q&A, Bookmark, Confusion Flag, Notes tool which students can utilize to increase their learning. Media can be streamed only on a computer, there is a new mobile app coming to EchoVideo.
