Kaltura is for asynchronous broadcasting of lectures or other content. It’s basically YouTube – you go in, record a video, and it gets published to your course. If you are just pushing out content to your students and don’t want the interactive portion, this is the way to go as the service is geared towards this approach, and has more resources for publishing videos in a timely fashion.
You can access Kaltura from https://media.tru.ca/, but Kaltura is also integrated within Moodle now so you can create recordings and add media directly into a media gallery in Moodle and then share the media within one or more of your courses. You can even use it to allow students to submit video assignments. Be aware that after you save your recording it could take up to an hour to show up in My Media. For best results use Chrome when recording.
Options:
- Media Upload (file already recorded and on your desktop)
- Express Capture (quick video capture from your webcam)
- Kaltura Capture (screen and webcam capture at same time)
- Video Quiz (select pre recorded video, then add multiple choice questions directly on the video. Can force the students to respond before moving on in the video)
