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.

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

As the Owner or Co-Editor of a video 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.
