Creating a Kaltura Video Assignment

Overview

A video submission assignment is a great way to allow students to be engaged in the course. Students can either record content and upload into Canvas using Kaltura or students can pull pre-recorded content from their My Media repository. While it is much easier to record content using a laptop, students can still use their mobile devices if that is their only recording option. For student questions on how to submit a video assignment using Kaltura, check out the article, Submitting a Kaltura Video Assignment.
