just a quick question on if this is still in consideration, I'm being asked about student media assignments that, we are governed by the Office for Students (OfS) requires video assessments to be retained for “A period of five years after the end of the course”

If a media assignments "activity" could be tagged this would make retention much easier to determine.

Having created some moodle plugins, that seems like a lot of work to essentially save a single click?

Currently the editor loads, the student clicks on the echo embed button, and chooses between creating a new video, uploading from their library etc. And if they need to add a bit of text to explain the video, or add multiple videos, it's all straightforward.
