Course Materials: Media Albums

Create Course Media Albums

Create albums to organize photos, videos, and/or audio files for your course. Photos can be cropped and rotated after you add them. You may allow comments on each item within an album. You can also tag users in your uploaded photos, or allow students to upload and tag media as well.

Media album tags are not supported in courses containing more than 10,000 members and groups containing more than 1,000 members.
