EchoVideo

It would be nice to be able to print a report of scheduled rooms by date, room, and course. This would allow admins to answer requests as to "I'm trying to schedule, but the room is saying it's booked when I know it shouldn't be." This would also allow the ability to go to a classroom and troubleshoot when there is not an active scheduled capture.

We would like AskEcho to have configuration settings for what is available and when it is available. We would like to be able to change what threshold it is available at and control it for the different parts of the AskEcho content.

We create SCORM packages using Rise 360 that need to include Echo videos. These packages are delivered through our institutional LMS to authenticated students. Current limitation: Public embeds are the only option for including Echo videos in SCORM packages, but they experience intermittent 403 errors. Public embeds also don't align with our institutional content security requirements. We would like to request domain-restricted embed codes that: Function in static HTML/SCORM packages (no server-side authentication handshake) Only play when embedded on whitelisted domains (our LMS domain) Provide more reliable playback than current public embeds Similar to: YouTube's domain restriction feature for unlisted videos, or Vimeo's privacy settings for embedded content.

As an Admin or Scheduler, I need to be able to edit an existing recurring schedule so that just one or a few of the captures cross publish to a different Section. Currently, if I edit a single instance from the Captures > Scheduled tab it modifies every capture in that recurring schedule.

We recently realized that the AskEcho functionality is only available in folders. I expected AskEcho functionality to be available inside of embedded content, especially content embedded with LTI 1.3. We would really like to see this available in course sections. This would be particularly useful before the Folders: Phase 4 migration tool is available to migrate from course sections to folders. We like the 80% threshold for AskEcho Content (Summary and FAQs) not displaying till the recording has been viewed but I think it should be higher like 90% or make it only show once the student has viewed the recording at 99%. I think that being at 80% and automatically displaying students, they would catch on and not view the recorded lesson in its entirety and skip ahead play it and get the AskEcho Summary and FAQs. Or does AskEcho already have that functionality that the video must be played all the way through to the threshold with no skipping? We also had some concerns about students copying the AskEcho content and using it to cheat. I tested this with our test student and clicked on the “Save to my Notes” it saves to my Notes panel successfully. However, if I wanted to copy/paste the content I could. This will be a caveat for some faculty members, I know a generous amount of them already don’t like that students can download a transcript for fear of using AI tools to cheat. Yes, they can control what is displayed in the AskEcho Content so it could be a teaching moment for our team being it would be up to the faculty member to review the AskEcho content that was generated. Regarding the links, maybe others would like to AskEcho Content to be visible in links, (public links are turned off at our institution) but perhaps adding a toggle that admins can control.

Katie- Please share this is the feedback for a feature request regarding Notifications in EchoVideo: I use Canvas. I am concerned that I will miss a student's question or engagement activity in a video without some kind of flag to notice. Would you please consider adding a number icon/bubble to the right of the EchoVideo link/tab in Canvas to notify instructors that there has been engagement or a new chat posted. Currently, I have to constantly go into the EchoVideo app and click on the bell/click on the Q&A tab or click directly into the class itself. It would also be useful to somehow put engagement notification as a visual over the Canvas content type (i.e., Assignment, Announcement, Discussion, Page, Quizzes, or Syllabus) itself where there is embedded video(s), rather than having to go to the content type locate the video and look at the Discussion link icon with number to see if students have new discussion/comment posted. Further, it would be pretty useful to have the option for email notifications when chat or engagement has occurred in a class or the embedded player. Thank you! -Robin

We would like the ability to programmatically delete old lecture captures via the public API.

We currently have enabled the ability for students to share locked down video assignments via an LTI integration in D2L, using the Insert Stuff feature. When students submit a video assignment via the non-secure link that staff use, students are able to choose to share a link rather than the actual media, or choose the size of embedded media. These options don't exist when students are directed to use the locked down secure integration. This limits the options for staff determining their preference for marking student video assignments. This is particularly the case with large cohorts (over 500 students) where ideally staff would prefer for students to share a link rather than embed the media, due to the lengthy load times. The requirement is still that the linked media can't be updated or deleted once submitted. Our request is that the options to choose the size of the media embed or the ability to share a link are added to the locked down video assignment functionality

Would it be possible to please update the capture API to allow the ingest of extra fields, such as descriptions and tags, when importing media from other systems (such as in a migration) & map them to the appropriate metadata fields in EchoVideo.

As an Admin or Instructor, I LTI (1.1) link individual Lessons/Classes in Echo360 Sections to modules in the LMS. The list of lessons is not chronological and seems to be listed randomly. Please update this workflow so that the lessons in the "Lesson*" drop down are listed in order.
