8. Click on the tag name if you would like to create a new tag, or alternatively select one of the previously used tags from the drop down list.

Contribute to Faculty Repository

Adding your recording to the Faculty Repository gives other staff access to it.

1. Optionally click on the Click to add required metadata for shared repository button.
2. Select the relevant Faculty/School(s) to add your video to the shared repository.

3. Wait for the recording to upload.

4. Click on the Save button.

Note: You will need to save first, prior to publishing your recording to a specific course gallery.

The Course Gallery of a course is a searchable and sortable display of all media content published to a course by either staff or students. To include your recording in a specific course, you will need to publish it to that particular course media gallery.

1. Select the Published radio button.
2. Check the relevant course code from the list.
3. Click on the Save button.

4. A confirmation message will be shown and your video will be published in the selected course media gallery.
5. Click on Go To My Media to return to My Media.

View the video in the Course Gallery

Note: You will need to have added a Media Gallery tool link (named: Course Gallery) to the Course Menu of your Learn.UQ (Blackboard) course. Refer to the Course Gallery guide for more information.

You will also need to publish your videos to the course site so they can be viewed by students through the Course Gallery. 

1. From the Course Menu, select the Course Gallery link. Any recordings published to the course will be shown within the Media Gallery and are available to students.

1. Access My Media.
2. Locate the recording that you would like to open then click on the video thumbnail/title.

1. Access My Media.
2. Locate the recording that you would like to edit then click on the Edit button.

3. Choose from one of the edit options (i.e. click on the Thumbnails tab to add a thumbnail image for your recording).

1. Access My Media.
2. Locate the recording that you would like to remove then click on the Delete button.

3. Click on the Delete button to confirm.

Note: Deleting the recording from your My Media will also remove the recording from any course that you previously published it to.

Staff can reassign ownership of media entirely which will remove the video from their My Media. This reduces the risk of staff having sole access to course content after they no longer teach a certain course. Staff can also add collaborators to give another person editing and publishing rights, while still maintaining access rights to the video.

2. Select My Media from the Useful links section.
