Kaltura (and Canvas)
Kaltura is a service that provides tools for hosting and delivering media. This includes recording lectures using Kaltura Capture, uploading existing video and audio files such as Teams Meeting recordings, YouTube videos, PowerPoint narratives, and collecting video assignments from students. It is integrated with Canvas/myCourses and other UNH tools. Since it is a UNH secure location and integrated with myCourses, it is the preferred video hosting environment.
Possible Applications of Kaltura
- Recording lecture videos with Kaltura Capture
- Hosting large media files like PowerPoint narratives or Teams Meeting recordings that will otherwise consume all your Canvas course quota
- Student presentations
Accessing Kaltura
You can access Kaltura from My Media, which is in the Global Navigation panel of Canvas, on the far left.
