If required, you can also cross publish recordings to more than one module and create a link for all staff and students to your recording.

In Echo, you can publish to more than one section (module) if you are the owner of the Lecture Capture recording e.g. you were added as the owner when the Lecture Capture was scheduled.

Echo 360 Collections allow staff to create collections of recordings from different modules and events. You can create a collection of recordings from your library, and make it available to students who aren't enrolled on the module the recordings were sourced from.

You can enrol other staff onto your collections and they can then add to and manage the collection.

Please note that, the ability to create and manage collections has been restricted to staff only.

Further guidance

Downloads are set to off by default. The content owner can enable the setting for students to download Lecture Capture recordings in a module. Alternatively the content owner can download or give permission for a staff member enrolled on the Moodle module to download a recording and make it available to an individual student. 

Students may require a download for a specific purpose e.g. to review the recording with assistive technology such as Caption.Ed, Jamworks . When sharing the download, remind students that they are required to comply with the Online Teaching Materials and Lecture Recordings Policy and use downloads only for their own study and delete the recording when it is no longer required. 

Users enrolled in staff roles on modules including Lecturers, Programme Administrators, Teaching Assistants, Staff Observers can download separate files of the Lecture Capture recording. Whomever is listed as the content owner must make the decision/be informed before the recording is downloaded. The recording will download to your device and then you can share it with the student via OneDrive.
