What is Kaltura?

Kaltura is a media platform used for creating, storing, editing, and sharing primarily asynchronous multimedia content. You can think of it like YouTube – you can upload or record a new video and choose which course you would like to publish it in.

There are four primary options when using Kaltura:

Media Upload: allows you to upload an existing media file
Express Capture: allows you to quickly record audio and video from your webcam
Kaltura Capture: allows you to record audio, video, and your screen at the same time
Video Quiz: allows you to embed multiple choice questions directly into an existing video

What Can You Use it For?

Upload, create, edit, and share asynchronous multimedia content such recorded lectures, presentations, or other types of video. Content can be easily embedded directly on a main course page in Moodle or within an activity.
Create interactive video quizzes to increase student engagement through quick formative assessment checks
Add closed captioning and transcripts to existing videos
Have students be the creators! Kaltura is available to students as well. Consider having students create quick introductory videos through Express Capture, or more robust video projects through Kaltura Capture. Students can easily upload their videos in Moodle through the Kaltura Media Assignment activity, regular Assignment dropboxes, or discussion forums.

How Can You Access It?

You can access Kaltura by logging in with your TRU credentials at https://media.tru.ca/, or you can access it directly in Moodle by selecting “My Media” from the header menu.
