After students have submitted their assignments, you can review their entries including the videos they shared

NOTE: After the assignment is submitted this way, if the student visits "My Media" they will see their video there, because "My Media" contains their personal archive of video. But if they visit "Media Gallery" which is visible to the whole class, they will not see the video, because they have not published it there.
