Utilize Media Library

 

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. There are two main ways that instructors can utilize 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.

This tutorial demonstrates how to utilize the Media Library tool within MyFIRE. 


1.    Access Media Library by selecting the admin tools gear icon in the right top corner of the screen. 

 

2.    A drop-down menu will appear. Select media library.

4.    Add media files by selecting the blue add button.
