Manage media with the Course media library

Organize, manage, and collaborate on course media more efficiently with the Course media library.

Managing media assets like videos, audio, images, and documents is now easier with the Course media library. Instead of storing media in your personal My Library, media is now owned by the course, within itself. In short, each course will have its own media.

This change makes it easier for teams to collaborate, organize assets, and keep everything related to a course in one place.

Upload and manage media within a course

When you add any media to a course, it’s automatically stored in that course’s Course media library.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Add a media content block to your course page (it can be an image, video, audio, or even a document content block).

  2. Click Choose from library

  3. The Course media library opens, where you can:

    1. View all media assets that belong to the current course

    2. Search within the course library to quickly find files

    3. Upload media from your device

    4. Edit existing media (rename, trim, add subtitles, download, or delete)

    5. Browse media from other courses you have access to if you want to reuse assets

By keeping media scoped to the course, the library stays organized and relevant, making it much easier to find the assets you need while building your course.

Collaborate on media with co-authors

The Course media library also improves collaboration.

When a co-author is added to a course, they automatically get access to the course’s media assets. This means co-authors can:

  • Edit or replace existing media

  • Reuse media across pages in the course

  • Work on the same assets without needing to re-upload files

Previously, the media was tied to the person who uploaded it. This made collaboration difficult because other authors couldn’t modify those files. Now, since media belongs to the course, teams can collaborate more smoothly and avoid unnecessary duplication.

Why this change helps

Moving to a course-owned media library solves several common challenges authors used to face:

  • Media is easier to find because it’s organized per course.

  • Co-authors can work with the same assets without restrictions.

  • Teams avoid duplicate uploads and missing files.

  • Course content stays consistent even if team members change.

Overall, the Course media library helps authors spend less time managing files and more time creating high-quality learning content.

FAQs

Where is my media stored now?

Media is stored within each individual course instead of your personal My Library. Each course has its own dedicated media library.

Can I still reuse media from other courses?

Yes. You can browse and reuse media from other courses you have access to directly from the Course media library.

Can co-authors edit my uploaded media?

Yes. All media belongs to the course, so co-authors can edit, replace, or reuse existing assets.

What happens to the media if someone leaves the team?

Nothing changes. Since media is owned by the course (not the individual), it remains available and intact.

Can I download media from the Course media library?

Yes. You can download any media asset directly from the Course media library.
