How do I publish media from My Media to a Media Gallery in bCourses?

Important Student Privacy Information

If you intend to share video that includes student participation (identifying information such as name, image, or voice), you must follow certain practices; please see the Academic Senate FAQ "If I record a class lecture or discussion, and it includes student participation (identifying information such as name, image, or voice), can I share the recording with individuals who are not enrolled in the course?"

From a bCourses site's Media Gallery

1. Click +Add Media (If you do not see the +Add Media button, it may be because you have added Playlists and are on the Playlists tab; select the Media tab).

   

   You can now see what is in your My Media (even though you technically are still in your course site's Media Gallery)

2. Click the checkbox(es) to select the media item(s) you want to publish to this Media Gallery.
3. Click Publish (at the top of the page). The media item(s) you selected will become visible in the Media Gallery that you started from.

From My Media (can publish to one or more bCourses sites' Media Galleries at once)

Note: If you are in many bCourses sites, we do not recommend publishing with this option. We recommend publishing from your bCourse's site's Media Gallery instead, using the instructions above. This is because the order of the list of courses to publish to is random and difficult to navigate in My Media; also, if you are in 100+ bCourses sites, not all of them will appear. 

You can access My Media in the global navigation (vertical navigation bar on the left) of bCourses or through MediaSpace. 

1. Click the checkbox to the left of each media item you want to publish. 
2. Scroll to the top of the page and from the Actions menu, choose Publish.

   

3. Click the Published radio button if it is not already selected. The "Publish in Gallery" selector should be visible.
4. Select the course site(s) to which you want the media published to the site's Media Gallery.
   • Reminder: The order of this list is random, and if you are in 100+ bCourses sites, not all of them will appear. 
5. Click Save. The media item(s) you selected in step 1 is/are now visible in the Media Galleries of the course site(s) you selected in step 4.

   

Note: If you only need to publish one item, here are other ways to get to the "Publish in Gallery" selector:

• From My Media, click on the media item's title and then from the Actions drop down menu, select Publish. 
• From My Media, click on the Edit icon (pencil icon) next to the media item and then click the Publish tab
