Uploading and Sharing Media with Ensemble

Uploading media to Ensemble, our media server, and sharing the media is a two step process.

  1. Media is uploaded to Ensemble.
  2. Media is shared to the community with either a link to the media (stored in Ensemble) or an embedded media player.

To share your media with your students, you will need to request library space on Ensemble, our media server, then you can upload your content. We can assist you in working with Ensemble to upload and host your content. Note: We do not recommend uploading video files to Moodle.

Embedding media will insert a media player into an area of your choosing, such as Moodle, a course website, or WordPress page. This is usually the preferred route, as otherwise viewers may be in another browser window, or forget to click on the back link in their browser to return to the course page.
