eMedley is best utilized on a desktop computer but will function decently on a mobile device as well. Recommended browsers include Chrome, Firefox and Safari. The videos below show how to create quicklinks to the eMedley login page. All of these start on the OLSEN page, which might another page to consider creating a quicklink to.
- Bookmark eMedley login page in Firefox
- Bookmark eMedley login page in Chrome
- Create shortcut to eMedley login page on iPhone
To see course events on a personal calendar, get the eMedley calendar subscription link from educate/ecurriculum. Please note that materials and instructions connected to the event will not be displayed - only the event name, date, time, and location. Viewing all the information associated with an event requires logging in to eMedley.
While inside eMedley, navigate to educate or ecurriculum and click on the calendar icon. Once the calendar displays, the Subscribe All button is in the upper right of the screen.
Click on it, and a unique calendar link is displayed. Copy it and save it somewhere to access later.
Use the link to add the eMedley calendar to a preferred calendar program. If an event changes, the changes should be reflected in the calendar but may not show immediately. Specific instructions for how to add calendars using a link can be accessed below.
Faculty Help
- To best facilitate locating and identifying session documents, the following naming convention has been instituted.
Where:
- Category = Prestudy, InClass, PostStudy, Supplemental, IndStudy, etc
- Type = Handout, PPT, PPTwScript, PDFwScript, VideoLink, LabGuide, etc
- Title = Lecture title
- Course Name = COM10110 (for SBNBF)
- Year = Edit year of the document (19)
- Author = Lecturer
Example: 03_InClass_PDFwScript_Superficial_Back_COM10110_19_Cantrell.pdf
- Make sure to use the underscores.
- In the example above, the "03" has been added to show the order to progress through the materials associated with the session. It's not required but may be useful if there are multiple items for students to access in a particular order. In this example, this is the 3rd document students would need to access.
- Once logged in to eMedley, navigate to ecurriculum.
- Click on courses. If the course not show at the top, begin typing in the course name in the search box and it should show.
- Click on course name.
- Click on the sessions tab and select the session into which the document is going to be uploaded and then click view.
- Click on the documents tab and then add.
- Click on the attach button and chose "From Computer." If your document is named with the required convention, you do not need to add a name as it will be the same as the document name.
- Click submit and the document is now available for the session.
The video below demonstrates the complete process.
There are two recommended ways to post a link or links for students to a session.
- The first way is to simply type links into a Word document. The links can be listed
however desired with associated information, directions and/or descriptions. The document
should be titled according to the required naming convention and uploaded to a session
for student access.
- The second way is to place the link in an html file that is uploaded as a document, that, when clicked, functions as a normal link would and takes students to the desired destination. Instructions for this method are located here.
- Please note that if the link being shared is to a Mediasite video, best practice while inside My Mediasite is to select Share Presentation and then copy the Quick Link that is then pasted according to the provided instructions. Also, on the main page where the listing of presentations resides, the video needs to be "unlocked" in order to be viewable.
