Notes specific to this workflow
You can create a collection for personal use or share it with others
If you are able to create a collection, you become its Manager and can fully control it. By contrast, if you are invited to join a collection created by someone else, you only get the abilities in that collection that have been given to you by that collections Manager/s
If you share it with others, the role you give them is important See workflow D.3 ‘Sharing your collection' workflow for more details
One collection is created in Echo to match each Canvas course that may or will link to Echo video content. This formal collection has the same name as the Canvas course it belongs to.
When viewing the ‘My Echo360 Library’ screen, collections can be seen in both the Library and Collections tabs but individual videos can only be seen in the Library tab.
WORKFLOW

2. Open the ‘My Echo360 Library’ screen off the blue menu to the left
3. In the ‘My Echo360 Library’ screen, select the Collections tab

5. Type in a description for the collection if desired
6. You can end the workflow at this point by clicking on the Save button to create the collection.
7. Alternatively, you can continue by adding the names of any people you would like to share the new collection with. To do this, click on ‘Membership’ to show the Membership section
8. Click on the +Member button then search for the name or email address of a staff member or student you want to share the collection with. Select the person you want from the list
9. Set the role of any staff members to Editor; if needed other roles can be selected however this should rarely be necessary
Set the role of any students to Reviewer.
What each role can do is shown in the middle of the pop up box
10. Click the Add Member button then check on the next screen that the staff member has been added to the collection with the correct role
You can only add one person at a time. NIDA’s Echo admins are currently not able to add people in bulk to collections
