Not only can you watch videos of course lectures in Echo360 but you can take notes as you watch. The benefit of this is that they are timestamped to the place in the video where you took the notes. So if you take notes at 15:45, the note appears there and when you click on the note, it takes you to that location in the video!

To create notes in Echo360

  1. Log in to Blackboard and open the course with the Echo360 recordings.
  2. Click on the link the instructor provided to go to the Echo Recordings.
    Note: This will vary by course.  If you do not know where your instructor placed the link, contact your instructor.
