MyLO: the UTAS LMS¶
Using MyLO¶
Setting up a MyLO unit¶
A collection of official staff resources can be found on the staff intranet and which cover everything here. The difference between the content presented there and here is this is a guide written whilst following the content there, with an emphasis on chronology.
Creating a MyLO unit¶
The tutorial Creating your Online unit using MyLO manager does a good job of describing the process of unit creating using MyLO's back end, MyLO manager.
Uploading a unit outline¶
Whilst the planned endpoint for unit outlines is to have them automatically generated from Akari currently unit outlines are managed using "[A] temporary workaround [which] involves using a MyLO Webpage with an embedded PDF Proforma link for Unit Outline access" and instructions for this process can be found here
Scheduling recorded sessions¶
Zoom rooms¶
Applicable rooms
All online enabled rooms in physics are now Zoom rooms. These include:
- Lecture Theatre 1 (room 212)
- Room 328
- Room 333
A Zoom Room quickstart guide has been developed by the academic division, and it contains informative videos on how to set up Zoom for a unit, notably scheduling meetings, and having them auto-record to the cloud and be available through Echo360.
Legacy information
Prior to the upgrade of physics facilities in 2024, there was a hodgepodge of of methods to have online capacity for teaching venues. This information is left here for reference, but seves mostly as a reminder for how far we have come.

- How to Link Echo360 Recordings to your MyLO Unit
-
As per the guide here if you have both a link to Zoom within your unit and a link set up to point to your Echo360 section any scheduled Zoom recordings made within your unit will also appear in your Echo section, provided that they are longer than 5 minutes.
Echo360 before Zoom
The Echo360 section for your unit must be linked to the MyLO unit by adding the Echo360 LTI link before your Zoom Schedule begins. An Echo360 space should be requested via MyLO Manager, and this staff guide details how to add the Echo360 LTI link to your units space within your MyLO unit
