Have you updated your Echo360 links in LEARN?

Leave a comment

At the end of 2017, Echo360 was upgraded to a new cloud-based system. All historical course recordings were transferred, and 2018 lecture capture requests are scheduled into the new system.

The old Echo360 system will be decommissioned at the end of March. Before this happens, it is important that teaching staff:

  • Check that all requested historical course recordings have successfully transferred.
  • Update old Echolinks to individual recordings, with links to those recordings now in the new system.

Instructions on updating EchoLinks can be found at Echo360 Help: Managing Recordings

Echo360 can be accessed from the Course Recordings block on LEARN course pages.If any historical lecture recordings are missing or not working correctly, a working copy can usually be transferred from the old system. This needs to be done before the old system is decommissioned.

 

New Echo360 familiarisation

Before Semester 1, interactive sessions are now available in mid-February. For more information and registration, go to http://canterbury.libcal.com/calendar/tst/

Any questions, or training requests, can be sent to e-Learning Support via Assyst Self Service.

Deletion of hidden files in Learn

Leave a comment

Currently there are 24000 file resources on Learn which have been hidden (unavailable to students) for three years or more.  These files were uploaded before the copyright compliance tool was completed and hence hold a considerable but unknown risk of non-compliance with current copyright law and licenses, as they can be unhidden, which makes them reportable and available to students in Learn courses.

Therefore all hidden files that have not been accessed for 3 years or more will be deleted.  The deletion of these files will commence on the week of 25th July.  If you do want to keep these files then if you ‘unhide’ them they will not get marked for deletion.

Please contact eLearning support if you require further information.
