Get the Most out of Echo360 ALP: Add the 3Play Media Captioning Integration

The Echo360 Active Learning Platform (ALP) is a professor’s best friend when it comes to managing student assignments and sharing engaging video content with a class.

But transcribing that video content can take up lots of time and effort that most professors would prefer to spend on their students. Luckily, that’s where we come in!

3Play Media’s round trip integration with Echo360’s ALP completely automates the process of closed captioning, subtitling, and transcribing your video files.

And because 3Play Media guarantees over 99% accuracy, students, professors, and administrators will all benefit from a simplified captioning process that is both extremely convenient and high-quality.

Super Simple Setup

To automate the captioning process in Echo360 ALP, turn on 3Play Media’s captioning integration by following these quick and easy instructions:

Step 1 – Retrieve the 3Play Media API Credentials

First, click on the Upload Media page in your 3Play Media account. Then click the Linked Account Menu and select Add New Linked Account from the list.

From the pop-up window, click the Echo360 Active Learning Linked Account button.
