MediaShare assignments
If available in your course, create a MediaShare assignment—an assignment containing a video, YouTube clip, video quiz, or image that students can view, comment on, and assess. Students can also upload their own media content, comment on other students' uploaded content, and contribute to group work.

How students do MediaShare assignments
When students select a MediaShare assignment, the MediaShare tool opens in a new window. Students must enable cookie settings to watch videos.
For a video quiz, students watch the video and answer the multiple choice questions.
For a multimedia assignment, students view the media items and enter comments, if your assignment allows comments. Depending on the options you select, students can upload media, edit peer work, or work in groups to create media.
