Introduction to collections

• Collections are a way to group videos together in Echo360

• Collections can have none, one or many videos

• Video management

  • Videos added to a collection are not copied into that collection. Instead they are added as a link. For this reason, if a user adds a video from their personal Echo360 library into a collection and then deletes that video from their library, the video also disappears from the collection. This also means that if this video is linked to from Canvas, access to the video via this Canvas link will no longer work

  • All the videos in a collection can be copied. This creates a separate softcopy file for each video in the collection: https://learn.echo360.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055448052

  • For the above two reasons, staff may like to consider creating a backup copy after each offering of the related Canvas course, since zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

• Collection membership

  • Currently all users - including students - are allowed to create collections and each collection remains private to the user who created it until that user chooses to share the collection with others.

  • You are thus able to access Echo360 content in any collection that you have created or to which you have been made a member

  • As the owner (or ‘manager’) of a collection you control who has access to your collection and what they can do with it. You can make someone else a manager of your collection but once you do, you can’t undo this by yourself since managers can not remove or demote other managers. If you want to remove a collection manager, ask one of NIDA’s Echo360 admins for help

• Collections have an option that allows whoever clicks on a link to be made a member of that collection

Notes specific to this workflow

• For notes applying to all Use A workflows, see the ‘General notes’ section on the Echo360 intro page

• You can add more than one video at a time to a collection.

• You can’t upload video directly into an Echo360 collection.
  If you want to do this, you must first upload the video (or videos) to your personal Echo360 library, then add the video (or videos) to the collection.
