There are different types of video assignments, so use this guide only if your lecturer has pointed you to this page.

As video files are often too large to upload directly to LEO assignments, you should:

1. Upload your video to a streaming video platform such as Echo360, Kaltura, YouTube or Vimeo (as directed by your tutor)
2. Add a link to or embed the video in the Online Text submission option in your assignment.

Videos can be created in a number of different ways, such as using a video camera or your smartphone. Most video types can be uploaded to any of the above systems. ACU also has some tools to help with video creation and management:

• Echo360 can be used to upload and store videos, and you can download Echo360 Universal Capture to create videos on your computer.
• Kaltura can be used to upload videos into LEO My Media, and you can download Kaltura Capture to create videos.

How to submit an Echo360 video for an assignment

Firstly, upload the video into Echo360:

1. Log into Echo360.org.au (if this is your first time using Echo360, continue to step 2. If not, proceed to step 4)
2. If this is your first time logging into Echo360, it will ask for your email address. Please type-in your student email address with your name, not student number. Then, click the Submit button.
3. When prompted by a username and password dialogue box, enter your ACU username and password and click "OK".
4. Once you are in the content library, click the Create button and choose the Media Upload option.
5. Select the video file(s) you wish to upload, then click the Upload button. Videos may take a while process, and you will not be able to watch them until it is complete.
   Note: If you have created a video using Universal Capture, your video should be already uploaded and available in your Echo360 library.

Then, create a link to the video:

4. Hover over the video and click the menu button that appears, then choose the Share option.
5. Click the Links tab at the top of the window, then click the Add Link button.
6. Enter a Description for your link, such as "Assignment 1 Submission", and disable the Public Access option.
7. Click the Copy button to copy the direct link to the video - you will need this link to paste into your assignment submission.

Finally, submit the link as your assignment submission:

8. Log into LEO, navigate to your unit, and click the link to your assignment.
9. Click the Add submission button.
10. In the Online Text box option, paste the link you copied previously.
11. Click the Save Changes button to complete your assignment submission.

You tutor will now be able to click this link to view your video in Echo360.
