This page does not apply to you if your institution has configured Simplified Course Provisioning. See also Simplified Course Provisioning Options for Instructors.
You may also want to refer to Linking LMS Course to Echo Classrooms if a main course page or class list link is not what you want. You can do both (and many do). Create a link to the main course page via the below instructions, then create subsequent links to individual classrooms / class content as needed.

LMS / VLE courses or Microsoft (MS) Teams can be linked to one or more EchoVideo courses. While typically the relationship between LMS / VLE courses / Teams and EchoVideo courses is 1-to-1, some institutions need a 1-to-many relationship. The linking process is the same regardless of which approach fits your situation.

EchoVideo cannot restrict student access to sections. If you are linking a single LMS / VLE course to multiple EchoVideo courses and not all students should have access to all linked EchoVideo courses, you must be certain to configure the links in the LMS / VLE to restrict which students can see or access them. EchoVideo will automatically enroll any student who links into a course through an LMS / VLE link. Contact your LMS / VLE administrator for assistance if necessary.

The instructions below assume the EchoVideo section you are linking to has already been created. These procedures can be performed by an instructor or an administrator. Be advised, however, that if an administrator completes the linking process, they will automatically be enrolled in the EchoVideo section as an Instructor. Those admins can be later unenrolled from those sections through EchoVideo once all the linking is complete.

If you are an Instructor completing these links and the selection lists are too cumbersome to navigate, contact your administrator and ask them about limiting the selections to only your enrolled EchoVideo sections.

If the course / section does not yet exist in EchoVideo, you can manually create the course and / or section while linking through, unless that capability has been disabled for the institution. Alternatively, your Administrator can enable Simplified Course Provisioning to create the EchoVideo course and section automatically.

Allow Popups from the LMS / VLE site: If the LTI External tool link was properly configured to open in a new window / tab, the first time you access it, you may need to select to allow pop-ups from the LMS / VLE site in your browser. This should only be necessary on first access.

To link an LMS / VLE course or MS Team to an EchoVideo course

1. Log into the LMS / VLE as either an instructor or an admin.
2. Open the LMS / VLE course or section you want to link.
3. Click the EchoVideo tool link already added to the course. If there is not one, see the appropriate instructional page for your LMS / VLE or MS Team:
   • Using MS Teams with EchoVideo
   • Add Link to EchoVideo in Blackboard Course Content
   • Adding EchoVideo Link to Assignments for Canvas Course
   • Adding EchoVideo Tool link to Moodle Courses
   • Adding EchoVideo Link to D2L Course
   • Adding EchoVideo Link to Sakai Course Site
4. Use the drop-down lists on the window that appears to find the course, term, and section to link to.
   
5. If necessary, select the Section home (a list of all lessons in the section) radio button shown above (it should be selected by default).
6. Click CONNECT.
   If you want to link directly to a particular class, follow the instructions in Linking LMS Course to Echo Classrooms.

The LMS / VLE course / MS Team is now linked to the corresponding EchoVideo course. Users clicking the EchoVideo link (or tab) are taken to the Class List for the EchoVideo section you just linked.

Admins who establish the link to EchoVideo are automatically enrolled as instructors in the EchoVideo section. They can be unenrolled later after all the LMS / VLE links to Echo are established.

Linking an LMS Course to Multiple EchoVideo Course Sections

Most LMS / VLE courses link to a single EchoVideo course section. However, you can link any LMS / VLE course to as many EchoVideo sections as you want to.

To link an LMS / VLE course or section to additional EchoVideo courses

1. Create an additional EchoVideo tool link for the course / new tab for the MS Team. See the appropriate instructional page for your LMS / VLE / MS Team (linked in the above instructions) if necessary.
   

   When the Connect to EchoVideo section page appears, it will list any EchoVideo sections already linked to this LMS course or Team, along with a Link a different section option.

2. Click Link a different section as shown in the below figure.
   

   The page expands to show course / term / section drop-down lists to select from.

   
3. Use the drop-down lists that appear to find the course, term, and section to link to.
4. If necessary select the Link to the Section Home radio button (it is selected by default).
5. Click LINK CONTENT.

The LMS course / section is now linked to the additional EchoVideo section. Users clicking this EchoVideo link in the LMS are taken to the Class List for the second EchoVideo section you just linked.

AS CITED ABOVE - EchoVideo cannot restrict student access to sections. If you are linking a single LMS / VLE course to multiple EchoVideo sections and not all students should have access to all linked EchoVideo sections, you must be certain to configure the links in the LMS / VLE to restrict which students can see or access them. EchoVideo will automatically enroll any student who links into a section through an LMS / VLE link. Contact your LMS / VLE administrator for assistance if necessary.
