echo360 -- Sharing an Individual Class Recording -- for Instructors

Tagged with: echo video Echo360 echovideo

Introduction

Echo360 is NOW named Echo Video, starting in 2023.

Some instructors choose to have their classes recorded in Echo Video, but to have these recordings be unavailable to students by default.

This webpage explains how an instructor can share the recording of a particular lecture or class with one student or a select number of students when the recordings for this class are unavailable to students by default.

Students will access these recordings at the https://echo360.org website, outside of Bb Learn.

*INSTRUCTORS: It is your responsibility to inform students if your class is being recorded but that these recordings are unavailable.*

You will be contacted multiple times before the start of a quarter if your class is going to be recorded.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND obtaining department head, assistant department head, or program director approval before sharing class recordings with anyone who wasn't enrolled as an instructor, course assistant, or student in the class.
