Assigning video submissions as assignments

Both Instructors and Students have access to Kaltura Capture within LEARN. With Kaltura Capture students and Instructors can create easy video, audio & powerpoint presentation recordings, video introductions, screen-capture demonstrations, etc. Students may alternatively choose to create a video with their phone or other camera but these video files should be uploaded into their MyMedia area within LEARN.

***Do not attach or upload videos directly to an assignment dropbox. ALL Video files must be uploaded to your MyMedia area before embedding into an Assignment Dropbox or Discussion post.***

If you want all students in the course to be able to view classmates videos, students should post the videos within a Discussion Forum. If the videos are only to be seen by the author and the Instructor, then students should submit videos to an Assignment Dropbox.

As Instructor: You will first have to create an Assignment Dropbox or Discussion Forum for students to submit their videos to.

Part 1: Recording the Video in Kultura

***Please do not upload/attach huge video files into LEARN directly. Record them using Kaltura or Upload Phone Videos into your MyMedia section first, then embed them in a Discussion Post or Assignment Submission.***
