This tutorial is designed for faculty who have previous experience using D2L and who have uploaded media to My Media in D2L. It will cover the steps involved when you wish to allow students to download a video. There are two parts to this tutorial: setting a video to allow downloading, and adding it to the Course Media gallery so students can download it. For further information, please contact desupport@camosun.ca for assistance.
Steps
- Go to your course in D2L.
- Go to My Media.
- Click the Edit icon (the pencil) to the right of the video you wish to allow downloads for.

- In the Course Media area, click the Media tab, then click +Add Media.
