Echo360 is a platform used at NIDA to hold video content used to teach courses.
This content is then linked to from Canvas (aka ‘NIDA Learn’), which is NIDA’s learning management system.
Echo360 replaces Canvas' built-in video app called Studio.

More detail on the workflows in these Groups is provided in the sequence tables below, including links to the steps for each.
The main workflows are shown in red.
Each workflow is given a code, eg A.3. is the third workflow in Group A.

Ownership of video collections
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
Suggested standard practice for course-based Echo collections: A single person is designated as the manager for all course-based Echo collections for a given degree/school. This person would likely be the course coordinator or similar. This person creates all course-based Echo collections so that by default they are given the role of Collection Manager. All people who are then added as members of this collection are added in a Contributor role only in order to prevent them accidentally deleting videos from this collection. If a video really needs to be deleted from the collection, then staff ask the Collection Manager to do this for them. Or the Collection Manager does this as a standard part of managing these course-based collections
Ownership of individual videos
If you upload a video to Echo, you are automatically made the owner of that video and can thus manage it including copying, editing, downloading and deleting it.
However the following actions on your video require the help of one of NIDA’s Echo admins (eg Josh, Ben, Andrew and some IT staff):
if you would like to give ownership of your video to someone else
230103 if you would like to create a public link to your video, ie so it can be viewed outside NIDA. (You can still share your video with people inside NIDA.)
