Sharing Lecturecast Capture/Recording

Introduction

Some recordings and content are not directly uploaded to a class in a 'Course Section' page and are available in the Library of the person (Instructor) who created them.

These include:

Universal Capture recordings saved in a users Library/My Content
Captures/Recordings created for non-modular events
Captures/Recordings that are not created via the Lecturecast Scheduler
Captures/Recordings uploaded directly onto Lecturecast
Other content such as presentations and lecture materials

For this content to be made available for students to view it needs to be published to a relevant class. This training guide describes the basic steps required to publish content to a class.

It involves:

A 'class' is a container in Lecturecast (Echo360) which holds content specific to a single teaching and learning event.

1. Video tutorial

The video tutorial will show you how to share capture from your Lecturecast Library to a Moodle Course. Alternatively, you can follow the text-based step-by-step guide below.

On your Lecturecast Media Library, select a capture that you want to share and click on the 'Three Dots' action menu and select 'Share'.

If you have entered Lecturecast (Echo360) through Moodle, you most likely follow a Moodle LTI activity link that puts you on the course section page that is associated with the Moodle course. In this case, you will need to click on the 'Library' tab to get to the Media Library page. However, If you have logged into Lecturecast (Echo 360) directly then you will be on the Media Library page already. Please visit this wiki page (Learning Lecturecast Basics) to get a basic understanding of how to navigate around Lecturecast (Echo360).

3. Sharing a capture with an individual Lecturecast user

You can share your Lecturecast capture with an individual Lecturecast user. On the 'Share Settings' window select the 'Individual' tab, and enter the email address of the user that you want to share the capture with.

You can only share your capture with users who have a UCL email account.

4. Sharing a capture to a Lecturecast course section

You can share your Lecturecast capture within a Course Section, this will allow your students to view the capture if they are enrolled on the corresponding Moodle course. On the 'Share Settings' window select the 'Class' tab. On there you will need to fill in the following:

Use the course drop-down to search for your course, you can start typing your course name for your course to appear.
Select your Term.
Select your Section.
You Must 'Add a New Class' to avoid overwriting existing content in the course!
Enter a Class Name.
Enter the date, time and duration when this capture was recorded. (Optional)
Choose from available/unavailable options for students to view. You can leave content hidden and make it available for students to view at a later date if required.
Select 'Share' to publish the capture to the course section.

Once you have shared the capture within the course section, you will still need to make sure the capture is made available to the students. Please visit this wiki page 'Edit and make a capture available' for further guidance.
