Accessing an Echo360 course for the first time
- Accessing an Echo360 course for the first time is a bit different from accessing a course normally. To access an Echo360 course for the first time, navigate to the course you would like to access in Brightspace via the Brightspace course waffle, or course widget.
- Your instructor will have set up an External Learning Tool link which will lead to the Echo360 course. It is highly advisable that you consult your instructor as to where this link is located. It will likely be in your course General or Introductory module.
- Clicking Add Echo360 course will take you to the Echo360 course your instructor has set up. Please note that your instructor might have renamed this, and it may read differently (e.g., Class Recordings, Course Videos, Course Video Library).
