Moodle Media Collection and Gallery Types

When creating a Media Collection activity you can choose from 2 different types.

Collection Types

1. General Collection
   • Use this to create a collection where you and your students can contribute media items to galleries that are not assessment related
2. Assignment Collection
   • Use this to create a collection where students will be submitting media items as part of an assessment

Gallery Mode

There are two types of Media Galleries:

1. theBox Gallery: Galleries are created in theBox and all items added to the gallery are stored in theBox. Videos are transcoded so that they are available for streaming within the web browser.
    
2. YouTube Gallery: This type of gallery allows users to search for existing videos in YouTube and organise them within a gallery. Users cannot upload media items.
