Kaltura

Overview

With Kaltura you can schedule automatic recordings of lectures or presentations or create ad hoc recordings. This powerful tool can be used for review, to supplement materials covered in class, or to provide instruction that is entirely web-based. The captured recordings can be viewed via a web browser and/or can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device. You can create both classroom recordings and personal recordings using your computer, microphone/webcam.

In most cases, the recordings will be delivered automatically to the Media Gallery in your Blackboard course once transcoding is complete.

1. Go to and fill out the lecture capture request form.
2. After you submit the form, Media Production Studio staff will contact you to gather additional details.

Additional information:

Students Access Recordings

Your instructor has chosen to use Kaltura Classroom to deliver recordings of review sessions, classes, or more. Depending on how your instructor chooses to deliver content in the course, you may either find recordings in the Media Gallery, or through-out the course content as accessible links.

In Blackboard

If your course is using KU's Kaltura Lecture Capture platform to record class sessions for delivery in Blackboard, you can view those videos with the following steps:

1. Login to Blackboard.
2. Select your course.
3. Click on the Media Gallery menu item.
4. Class recordings will be listed by most-recent here.
5. Click on a video thumbnail to play a recording.

Notes:

• If both a camera and computer source were captured in the classroom, then the video player will load with a side-by-side view of the two sources.  (If only one of those were captured, it will be the only one shown.)  Use the player and accessibility controls on the player, for playback.
• You can toggle the two video sources during playback for a view that best fits your content by hovering over the video player and choosing from the icons.  Your choices are side-by-side, picture-in-picture, and single source.  For all three modes, use the reverse arrows icon to swap sources.  When in picture-in-picture mode, you can move and resize the inset video stream to your preference.
