Multimedia
UNBC uses a media streaming platform for instructors and students to share audio and video content. The platform is called Kaltura and has the ability to to upload, publish, and search videos, embed video directly in a https://moodle.unbc.ca course (that can be reused across multiple courses), and create shortened clips from existing video content.
The platform is integrated with https://moodle.unbc.ca and provides ease of use handling media files of all types and sizes. This integration also offers the ability for instructors to lecture capture classes. Lecture capture is an umbrella term describing any technology that allows instructors to record what happens in their classrooms and make it available digitally. In its simplest form, lecture capture might be an audio recording made with an iPod; alternatively, the term might refer to a software capture program that records cursor movement, typing, or other on-screen activity. Lecture capture systems offer three important benefits: an alternative when students miss class; an opportunity for content review; and content for online course development. Lecture capture enhances and extends existing instructional activities, whether in face-to-face, fully online, or blended learning environments.
