Notes specific to this workflow
This workflow is not likely to be used much but is provided in case it’s required. It covers how to both
find the Canvas course number that a particular Echo section is linked to in Echo’s Course-Section-Class hierarchy, and
find and add users to an Echo section
Knowing the Canvas course number is useful if Canvas courses have the same or similar names and you want to make sure you are either
adding videos to classes for the correct Echo section tied to a Canvas course you are working on, or
linking to a Canvas course from the correct Echo section
This is because Echo sections have been named after the equivalent Canvas course in order to minimise error when adding, removing or linking content.
Example Echo sections related to previous Canvas courses:
...
Knowing and adding to the the users enrolled in a section is useful if you want to change these enrolments so Echo more accurately caters for the staff involved in a given Canvas course
You can see a list of Echo sections (ie Echo equivalents of Canvas courses) by viewing the ‘Courses’ tab after clicking on the ‘My Echo360 Library’ link in the blue menu shown to the left of any Canvas course
For how to find a list of Echo classes in an Echo section linked to a specific Canvas course, see workflow C.3. Finding a video in an Echo class

[230123 This workflow needs to cover both how to find out the course number in Canvas that a particular Echo section is linked to, as well as how to view lists of all videos that were migrated from Studio for a specific Canvas course, ie how to view the Echo class list for a given Echo section]
...
This can be useful if it’s not clear to staff which Echo section they should be adding classes to, for example when the Canvas course names are similar or the same (eg 2021 ACT7201A). This happens because Echo section names copy the name of the related course in Canvas, and sometimes these Canvas course names can be similar or the same

A. To see which Canvas course the section is attached to
9. Scroll down to the Description field. The description should hold
- the name of the Echo section being viewed (and thus the name of the Canvas course the section is linked to
- the course number of the linked Canvas course
...
The course number is shown in the browser url when viewing screens within the related Canvas course.
For example, the course number for 2022 OSA-22KEQ2 is 1790:

...
These tabs will often be empty, with the tab most likely to show users being the Instructors tab
-you can scroll to the top of the add users to these tabs via email or csv file, although this is not likely to be needed since users are added to the sections when they are created in bulk, usually at the start of the year
-students do not need to be added since they automatically get enrolled when they access resources held in Echo classes attached to the section
