GETTING STARTED WITH ECHO360
Echo360 is the tool of choice for College of Pharmacy lectures due to it’s ease of use, editing, auto-captioning and integration with CarmenCanvas. If your appointment is to the College of Pharmacy, you can follow the instructions below to record a lecture for your course. If you are outside the College of Pharmacy, you may use CarmenZoom to record your lecture.
GETTING A USER ACCOUNT
Method 1 (Carmen LTI)
You can create an account if the Echo360 LTI has already been added to your Carmen courses.
Click on the Echo360 LTI located in the left-side navigation menu in your Carmen course (see screenshot below). You will be prompted to create a new Echo360 account.
Method 2 (Through Technology Services Team)
NOTE: This method is ONLY for College of Pharmacy Faculty and Courses.
If you are not yet enrolled in a Carmen course or do not have access to Carmen, you likely need an account created manually. In order to get an account, contact cop-problem@osu.edu with the following information
- Your Name.#
