A channel is a user-generated collection of content that can be shared with a selected group of people. A channel manager can invite users to participate in the channel by viewing, uploading, and commenting on content.

Channels in Tufts MediaSpace are private by default. Only invited channel members can view and contribute content to a channel.

Additionally, a channel manager can require that any uploaded content must be approved before becoming available to others in the channel. Users can be allowed to post comments in the channel as well.
