Create an Echo360 recording link in Blackboard Ultra

1. Navigate to the location on the course or community where you wish to create a link. This example will show how to link from within a content folder. In other areas these steps may vary slightly.
2. Click on the plus sign to see options for adding content.
3. Select the content market option.
4. A new window will appear with further options. Locate the tool named Echo360 Cloud and select the small plus icon in the bottom right-hand corner of that option.
   Ensure you select correctly

   Ensure you select the small plus icon in the corner and not the whole Echo360 Cloud option box. If you accidentally select the whole item, you will create a global link for the whole course that is not accessible via a single link in a content area. In such an instance, you will need to disregard what you have done and start all of these steps again. Do not worry about resetting / unlinking what you have done, just start back in the content area / folder in Blackboard Ultra and follow from the start of step 1 again.

5. After selecting the small plus sign, you will then be redirected back to your chosen content area and will now see an Echo360 recording tool link.

1. After following step 1 you will then be redirected back to the content area you had chosen and will now see an Echo360 recording tool link. Click on the tool link to now link up a recording or list of recordings.
2. A new window will appear where you will first need to select the correct term, course and section. This may be pre-selected if another link has already been set up on the course. This can be altered if your content is in a different location.

Link to a list of recordings or to an individual recording

You can now choose to link to a list of recordings or to an individual recording. Most HYMS Blackboard Ultra courses will link to individual recordings. However, some courses link to recording lists. For example, MB BS Phase I recorded lectures are linked to via recording lists for each block. Both methods can be used within a course.

A list of recordings

Choose to link to a section home if you wish to display a list of all the recordings in that section. Then select connect.A list of all recordings will look similar to the below image. Users can browse the list and select a recording to watch.

Link to an individual recording

Alternatively choose to link to a lesson if you wish to link to one specific recording. Choose the correct recording from the drop-down options that appear. Then select connect.

A link to one recording will look similar to the below image.

1. Navigate back to the Echo360 recording tool link and review the name, description and visibility settings. The name is what students will click on to access the recording, so it makes sense to use the recording title, or the name of a block of study / a theme of learning for a list of recordings.
2. Click on the ellipsis in the right-hand corner of the link (the three dots). Select edit to see all settings options.
3. Click on the existing name to edit this. It is also a good idea to enter a description. Finally review visibility settings and select save.
   

If you have not selected the right recording / recording list, you can reset the link and go through the selection steps again.

If you have set up a link to a list of recordings, navigate to the view of the list to be able to reset with the following steps.

If you have set up an individual recording link, firstly click on the course/ section name of the recording from the top right-hand corner (where it says MB BS in the example image below).

See the below highlighted area on the zoomed in image below.You will now also see the overall list view of where your recording sits.

Click on Reset LMS link. This will be located in the top left-hand corner of the list. Accept the warning message that appears by clicking on ‘ok’.This will reset the individual link you have set up and allow you to select again your content.
