Students' Access to Kaltura
Kaltura is available to students in bCourses in the following locations:
- My Media link in bCourses global navigation menu (far left navigation bar in bCourses)
- Media Gallery link in many bCourses site menus
- The Rich Content Editor via the Embed Kaltura Media widget.
My Media is your personal repository of media. Media in your My Media can only be seen by you, unless you publish the media or add collaborators. You can get media into your My Media by uploading existing media files, linking to existing YouTube recordings, recording new content with the Express Capture function, or using the Kaltura Capture desktop application. You can also take advantage of the Zoom to Kaltura integration: any Zoom meetings you record to the Cloud will be copied to your My Media.
Media Gallery is bCourses site-specific and contains content that the instructor has chosen to add to the site. Instructors may also allow students to contribute to their site’s Media Gallery.
In addition, users (both instructors and students) may add Kaltura media content to other areas in bCourses, such as in Announcements, Discussions or Assignments. Kaltura has features to help students use video content provided by their instructors in various ways that thay may aid in learning and studying.
