This workshop session on the D2L Media Library will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively use this robust tool for managing audio and video content within their D2L courses. This workshop will allow instructors to practice recording a short video and uploading a video file, then use the auto transcription feature. The video transcript that is generated can be downloaded by students as additional notes and study support. Providing transcriptions of audio and video is another great example of meeting accessibility standards for your students.

In addition, the training will explore advanced features of the D2L Media Library such as applying chapters to videos for better navigation, use the built-in video editing tools for minor adjustments, and record videos outside of specific D2L course for use across multiple course offerings. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with the skills and confidence to effectively use the D2L Media Library to create dynamic, accessible, and efficient course content.
