Media Library content associated with a course folder is shared automatically with the users enrolled in that course. However, it is possible to share Media Library content with specific individuals directly and not with the entire student enrollment. If requested, this folder has likely been created for you when course recordings are scheduled.
Sharing a Restricted Course Folder
In some instances, it may be helpful to share the entire restricted course folder with individual students. This is useful if specific students will need access to all recordings during the course (e.g. for accommodation requests).
- Within the restricted folder, select the share icon.
2. Type the student's name or NetID and select their identity in the drop-down.
3. If you want a notification access email to be sent, toggle on the "Send an email to notify people" option and select "Send".
4. If you choose to not send a notification, select "Save" to add access to the folder.
Once access has been granted to the folder, the sessions within the folder will inherit the permission and the selected student will be able to view the sessions within the folder.
Sharing Individual Sessions within a Restricted Folder
- On a session within the restricted folder, select the share icon.
2. Type the student's name or NetID and select their identity from the drop-down.
3. If you want a notification access email to be sent, toggle on the "Send an email to notify people" option and select "Send".
4. If you choose to not send a notification, select "Save" to add access to the session.
If you choose to not send a notification when adding a student to an individual session, you will need to send a direct link to the video to the student. Adding viewing permission to a session, but not the parent folder, means the student will not see the folder or session within the Media Library.
