How to use Bridge Advanced Video as a content library

When placing BAV into the Learning Library navigation to create a landing page for company resources, there is no current way to remove visibility to containers through Bridge-specific features like learner relevance (for learning items) or permissions (for users).

It is very easy to “hide” the course content that you don’t perceive as being moment-of-need for the user while simultaneously providing clarity on what they may want or need to use.

FIRST: Create a Container

Create a container (our terminology for the folder system in BAV) using the blue button with the “plus” icon:

Label it something like “Course Content.”

SECOND: Move your Containers

Take the Bridge-generated containers and put them into this single new container. 

SIDE NOTE. Our example has updated branding, which you can find directions on here.

To move items in BAV, you’ll click on the meatball menu of the resource, choose manage, and then click on “move container” in the resource-level navigation. Expand the root container to see all of the available options.

Scroll until you find the Course Content container. Click on it and hit save.

At minimum, there will be a “Home” container and a “Shared” container to move into the Course Content container.

SIDE NOTE. You do NOT want to change the names of these Bridge-created containers. Within the Home container will be “LTI context containers” that are auto-generated when a BAV resource is placed into a course. Deleting these would impact how the resource is exposed in that course. The Shared container must be leveraged when a course will be affiliated to a sub-account so that the users in that sub-account have permission to view the resource. You can read a general overview of BAV here.

Once complete, your Course Content container will look like this (we also have a public container that we’ve included in our setup, which we created and enabled for public viewers):

THIRD: Build out other Containers

Start building out your other containers to customize the landing page of the resource library for your users.

Here is what we’ve created in our example:

  • Monthly Musings: company monthly goals and updates
  • FAQ
  • Partner Training (this is a public container for partners)
  • Contractor Training: content specific to company contractors
  • Customer Training (this is a public container for customers)
  • Human Resources
  • Sales Demos: recordings of demos
  • Marketing
  • Course Content (from step one)

It will look like this in your Admin view:

FOURTH: Move the Containers

Move the containers. 

Go to the list view and then hover over the meatball menu until you see an arrow. Click and move the resource to your desired location.

Resources cannot be hidden from specific users or groups of users. You can, however, create as many sub-containers as you’d like, and there are descriptions available for every resource type in BAV.

The description for our Course Content container reads: “These videos are pulled from internal trainings, and any completion will not count toward a course enrollment on your transcript.”

FIFTH: Reach out to us!

Contact Bridge Support at support@bridgeapp.com and ask for BAV to be placed into your Learning Library navigation. Tell them the name you would like to call the navigation item.

SIXTH: Preview your UI

Test the view from your My Learning page.

In our example, if we click on the Partner Training container, we’d get access to all the sub-containers:
