Everyone has a private video library called ‘My Media’ – students too – with unlimited storage.
Your My Media can store videos uploaded from your computer, linked from YouTube or added directly from the built in recorder Kaltura Capture.
Kaltura is integrated directly with Brightspace, so videos can be used seamlessly in content areas, discussion boards and announcements to help your students to continue to feel a part of a community. Because they are streamed, the size of the video will have less of an impact on your course.
Videos uploaded to Kaltura are automatically captioned, and the player provides a real time transcript, increasing the accessibility of your video content. .
Videos can be converted into quizzes and these can be integrated with your Brightspace gradebook (like clicker questions).
Long videos can be divided into chapters and sections, or edited into smaller chunks to help students focus.
Students can submit videos in discussion boards or assignments.
You should use Kaltura when:
You do not need or plan to engage in conversation with your students throughout the recording.
You can make a stand alone video to deliver information or model a demonstration.
You have students who have unreliable bandwidth.
You are making personal videos, quick videos that bring some of “you” to the course such as course announcements, or video feedback.
You are asking your students to make and submit video assignments, such as video discussion boards, or student presentations.
From your Brightspace home page, select “My Media” on the navbar to activate your Kaltura account and access your “My Media” library, or (*If you are not already signed into the 91 portal, you will be prompted to sign in to Brightspace.)
