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

1. Open your Blackboard Ultra Course
2. In the Course Content section, click the plus sign (+) where you wish to nest your Echo360 link
3. Select Content Market from the options list
   
4. From the available options, select the small plus sign (+) listed under Active Learning Platform
   
   A new folder will be created titled Active Learning Platform in the course content section.
5. Select the new Active Learning Platform link. 

   Your lecture captures are now linked to your course page in Blackboard.  If you are linking to a course that does not have content yet, the playlist will appear blank. As content becomes available, videos will become accessible to students.

6. By default, term and course will be grayed out
7. Use the section dropdown menu to select your desired course. Ensure the selected course matches the current or desired term in the step one grayed out region.
   With the latest Echo360 update, it defaults in pulling ALL courses assigned to an instructor. You may see multiple sections of the same course listed. Click though until the desired term is presented in the grayed out region.
8. Select Section Home (a list of all lessons in the section)
9. Click Connect.

• Hidden from Students: the content will be available to the instructor to continue to edit, but will not be available for students to view.

  • Select Members:  You can make the content visible to all members (default) or specific members or groups.
