EchoPlayer Configurations

Overview

Students, Instructors, and Teaching Assistants (called "users" collectively) may see different versions of the EchoPlayer, depending on a number of factors. These include:

• What they are viewing:

  • Echoes have a particular set of features.

  • Live webcasts don't have some features that appear in Echoes (such as the Forward, Back, and Stop buttons) but have others that don't appear in Echoes (such as the presence and chat applications).

• Their role:

  • All users see the same EchoPlayer when viewing Echoes.

  • Students and Instructors/Teaching Assistants see different interfaces when viewing live webcasts.

• Subscription status. Users will see certain applications if you are subscribed to the Collaboration and Statistics Service .

• Section configuration. You can enable or disable the Discussions, Feedback, and Share applications for a section.

• Logged in status. Some applications appear only if the user is logged in.

• Closed captioning or search indexing applied. The Scenes button may or may not appear.

• Closed captioning. Some Echoes have closed captioning applied and others do not.
