Your Media Library Overview

The learnIT Media library is the main way for you to interact with your video library. It contains all videos you have access to, whether you are the owner of the video, a co-collaborate or the video has been shared with you for viewing only - your affiliation with any given video is displayed to you on each video entry as well as its published state: Private or Published. Private meaning the video is only accessible to you and potential co-creators/viewers and Published meaning it has been published to a Course and students have access to the video.

From the overview, you are able to search or use filters in order to drill down and locate your specific videos based on many different criteria. Once located, you are able to easily edit the entry/entries, delete it/them, or publish to courses.

Editing an Entry

You can edit any entry that you are the owner of, and any video that you are a collaborator on. By clicking on the pencil-icon next to a video you can update a range of settings. There are eight different tabs with settings:

Details
Here you can edit the metadata of the video, in addition to the title and description you have the oppertunity to add tags that can be used when filtering your library. With the 'Publishing Schedule' you can limit the availability of a video to students

Options
Here you can change a few settings regarding features such as comments and clipping. In general these functionalities is not really relevant for the use in LearnIT.

Collaboration
You can transfer ownership to any other user (note: a video can have only one owner, so you will lose access to the video). Or give another user collaboration-rights while staying the owner. There are three different levels of collaboration:

• Co-Viewers - are able to view media even if it's not published in a course (yet), but do not have editing or publishing permissions.
• Co-Publishers - can publish the video to their own courses, but cannot change anything.
• Co-Editors - can edit the video's metadata, edit and replace the video, edit captions, edit chapters and edit slides. Co-editors cannot delete media or add new co-editors and co-publishers.
  
  

Thumbnail
Here you can select the thumbnail (preview picture) of a video. You can either upload a custom image to be used, capture the current view of the player as the thumbnail, or select from an autogenerated set of thumbnails.

Download
As the Owner or Co-Editor of a video you have the oppertunity to download the (original) video file to your harddisk.

Captions
As the Owner or Co-Editor of a video you can edit or upload captions (subtitles) for a video. .SRT and .DFXP file formats are supported.

Attachment
Here you can upload attachments (such as a slide-deck or relevant reading material), that belong to the video. In general this functionality is not really relevant for the use in LearnIT.

Timeline
As the Owner or Co-Editor of a video you can edit the timeline of a video, this allows you to create chapters (which can aid navigation in longer videos). By uploading a slidedeck (as .PDF, .PPT or .PPTX) you can align the slides with the relevant section in the video. This will allow viewers to switch between the video and high resolution pictures of the relevant slide during playback.
