Brightspace and Echo360

To create a list of all of your course videos, similar to what most people would be used to seeing in Blackboard, you will want to go to the Content Area, decide where you want your Videos to appear…  select Existing Activities -> External Learning Tools..

In this example I created a new Module called “Videos”. You will see it below under Syllabus.

So picking up from before, select Existing Activities -> External Learning Tools.. and then Pick Echo360 Course…

And this will leave you with a link Called Echo360 Course.

Now that you have that Echo360 Course link, the next thing you need to do is click on the link to join it to the correct content.

Alternatively, to embed videos into any wysiwyg text editor in Brightspace you can use the Insert Stuff button. (More instructions here.)

Echo360 is the last choice in the Insert Stuff area.  Choose the Library for existing videos in your collection

OR you can even make a new video right from where it says “Create New Media”:

One thought on “Brightspace and Echo360

  1. Hi Jennifer. I still haven’t figured out how to get Echo360 interactive videos so they are graded in the grade book. They can be inserted using InsertStuff tool. But the default assignment seems to be a file submission, not grading of the embedded questions.
