Media Library: How do I create a link to a collection of media entries on the Home page, within a Folder, or in a Learning Module?

ANSWER: 

Add Content Link: Media Library Collection

Individual Media Library Collections can be added to the Home page, Folders, and Learning Modules. In this way, you can direct students to a specific collection of media files (audio, image, text, and/or video).  When going through the Media Library tool, all available collections are listed.

Role(s) Needed: These instructions apply to Course- and Section-level Designers.

Note: Make sure the Media Library tool is added to your course.  To add tools, from the Build or Teach tab, click Manage Course on the Designer Tools (Build) or Instructor Tools (Teach) menu.  Then, select Tools.

Step 1: From the Build tab, go to the Folder or Learning Module where you want to add a link to the media collection.

Step 2: Click the Add Content Link button.

Step 3: Select Media Library Collection.

Step 4: If the item already exists, click on it in Select from inventory, then click Add Selected. For example:

TIP: You can select multiple items to link to at once; hold down the Ctrl key as you click on the items in the inventory box.

If the item does not yet exist, click the Create Media Library Collection button. The process for creating a collection is described in the Media Library folder in this knowledge base.

A link to the item is placed on the Home page, Folder, or Learning Module. A content item can be linked from multiple places in the same course via the Add Content Link option.
