• Go to the section where you would like the recordings to appear and select the + Add an Activity or resource hyperlink
• From drop-down list, select the External tool activity and click on the Add button

External Tool settings explained

General

• Activity name: Name of the activity that will display in the module, for example 'Launch Echo360 Engage...'

External tool type: Select Echo360 Cloud for UK and Malaysia modules, or UNNC Lecture Capture for China. 

 
IMPORTANT -  Do not enter anything in the Tool URL field below. Leave it blank.

Click on the Save and display button.

If you have already recorded lectures to your modules in the past, you should find that the module is already linked correctly to the new Echo360 Engage system.

If you are a new user, or if you want to link to content of an individual Engage 'Class' rather than to your list of recordings and presentations, please follow the instructions below to link moodle to Echo360 Engage:

New users:

Add the link as above. When you click on the link you will see a screen asking you to choose a section.

Type in your module code, select the Term and Section then choose Link Content:
