In this set of instructions you will learn how to connect your lecture capture (Echo360) content to your course page in Blackboard. Linking your lecture captures will allow your students to select one link to access all recorded lectures. For students, videos will appear in playlist format.
Procedure
- Open your Blackboard Ultra Course
- In the Course Content section, click the plus sign (+) where you wish to nest your Echo360 link
- Select Content Market from the options list
- From the available options, select the small plus sign (+) listed under EchoVideo Course Folder
A new content item will be created titled EchoVideo Course Folder in the course content section.
- Select the new EchoVideo Course Folder

Your lecture captures are now linked to your course page in Blackboard. By default the folder does not have content yet. As content becomes available, videos will become accessible to students.
Visibility Options
- Visible to Students: the content will be available to all students in the course.
- Hidden from Students: the content will be available to the instructor to continue to edit, but will not be available for students to view.
- Release Conditions: the content will be visible based on the criteria set.
- Select Members: You can make the content visible to all members (default) or specific members or groups.
- Date/Time: You can make the content visible based on a specific date/time. This is helpful when releasing content on a consistent schedule.
