The Media Library offers instructors the option to manage
media files within courses. The Media Library allows the option for storing,
reviewing, and editing video files. Any change to a media file is automatically
reflected in all courses it is added to, ensuring consistency and saving time.
There are two main ways that instructors can utilize the Media Library.
· Uploaded media files to your course (e.g.,
recording a feedback video or adding a video note within the course) will
automatically be added to the Media Library.
· Media files can be uploaded or recorded directly
in the Media Library tool.
