Lecture Capture

In ODU extended classrooms, instructors can use Zoom to broadcast and record lectures and class discussions and archive the recording for students to review on demand. Recordings are stored in Kaltura My Media and can be posted directly to the course's Canvas page.


Kaltura Capture

Record your screen; record from a webcam; record audio. Or combine sources that can be displayed side-by-side or picture-in-picture. Once you've made a recording, Kaltura Capture gives you the ability to edit your recording before you share it.

You can access Kaltura Capture from within Canvas or Kaltura MediaSpace (more information below).


Kaltura My Media

My Media is your personal media repository. From here, you can edit, upload, manage, clip or share video content. You can access My Media from Canvas or from Kaltura MediaSpace.

Editing:
My Media features a tool that you can use to trim, clip or put finishing touches on your videos

Captioning:
Any video added to Kaltura (My Media) will automatically get machine captioned. The system uses AI to listen to the video and apply captioning on a "best effort" basis after media is transcoded. This can take up to 24 hours or can be manually requested. Accuracy is impacted by how audio quality and vocal clarity.

Collaborating:

Other users or groups of users can be added to your media as co-editors, co-publishers or co-viewers.

Sharing recordings:

All content that you add to Kaltura (including Zoom meeting recordings) is delivered as "private" into your My Media channel. The content is only visible to you. To share videos with your students, you must publish them to a specific course media gallery.

If you add content to My Media directly from a course's media gallery in Canvas, it will be available in My Media AND automatically published to the course.

  • In your Canvas course, open the Media Gallery (which shows the videos shared in that course).
  • Click on "Add media" and upload content to My Media.

Additionally, you can publish content to a shared faculty repository, or use content published by others in your Canvas courses.

Note: Videos that are marked "Private" are only visible to you in My Media. Videos that are "Published" are available to students in the course's Media Gallery.
