MEDIAL Content Policies: Manage Rules and Archive Videos for Cost-Effective Storage

Video assignments create valuable evidence of learning. But once you have been using video submissions, recorded feedback and quiz videos for a while, another question becomes increasingly important: what happens to all that content afterwards?
