This refers to Moodle 3.11 from August 2022 onwards
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.
5. Give the activity a name, for example 'View all Lecture recordings for this module', and 'Save and return to module'
You will often find that your module is already linked correctly to the Echo360 Engage system by default. If you click back into the Echo link you just set up, you'll automatically see a list of modules.
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:
1. Go back into the Engage link you set up above. e.g., 
(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'.
3. Select the 'Term' (the academic year, e.g., 22-23)
4. Select the 'Course' (The code of the module you're in)
5. and the 'Section' - there should be only one option for this. Then
To add:
A list of all the videos connected to your module appears (or it may be empty if you haven't yet added any).
Close the tab/window and return to the module.
5. Give the activity a name, for example 'Introductory Lecture', and 'Save and return to module'
6. Click back into the module
7. Go back into the Engage link you set up above. (The title will be whatever you entered)
8. This time - to link to one particular video - select "Link to a Classroom"
A list of videos attached to your module will appear.
9. Click on the video you want, to select it ( in the example below - Introduction to Key Moodle Basics)
10. Click Link content
11. You'll see the video. You can close the window/tab and return to your module.
You can also add individual Echo360 videos into your Moodle page. Please embed them in Pages, or Books if possible, rather than labels.
If you embed videos in this way it is not connected to the module. Any analytics will only show anonymous views.
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.
The following other resources are also relevant to this topic:
There is a very helpful Moodle module Introduction to Engage for Staff with lots of useful information
There is also a helpful Xerte toolkit on Engaging and Monitoring Students Using Echo360
