How to add Engage recordings with the Echo360 link in Moodle

First, provide a link to all of the videos attached to your module. You can also add individual videos wherever appropriate in the module page.

To add the Echo360 link in Moodle:

  1. Login to Moodle at moodle.nottingham.ac.uk
  2. Go to your Moodle page and click on the 'Turn editing on' button 
  3. Go to the section where you would like the recordings to appear and select the + Add an Activity or resource hyperlink
  4. From the Activities presented, click on the 'Echo360 Cloud' resource

5. Give the activity a name, for example 'View all Lecture recordings for this module', and 'Save and return to module'

6. Click on the 'Turn editing off' button on the top right side of your Moodle page 


You should find that your module is already linked correctly to the Echo360 Engage system by default.

If you find that your module is not linked (sometimes this can happen, especially if the module is not a Campus credit-bearing module) or you are a new user, please follow the instructions below to link Moodle to Echo360 Engage:

(New users need to make sure you have been set up in the Engage system (email engage@nottingham.ac.uk))

Selecting the videos

  1. Go back into the Engage link you set up above.   (The title will be whatever you entered)
  2. When you click on the link you will see a screen asking you to 'Choose (or create) a section'.

  1. Select the 'Term', the 'Course' (The code of the module you're in) and the 'Section' then
  2. To add:
    1. a link to ALL the recordings for that module, click on 'Link Content'
    2. a link a single video, click on 'Link to a classroom', select the video and then click on 'Link content'


New feature in Moodle 3.8: You can also add individual Echo360 videos into your Moodle page. Please embed them in Pages, or Books if possible.

Avoid Labels where possible, as too many videos embedded on the front page of a module can slow down the loading of the page by up to a minute.
