UD Capture on Canvas @ UD

All UD Capture Course Recordings Now Accessed Through Canvas

 

With the new addition of Kaltura media tools in our Canvas@UD, Faculty and students can now use Canvas to access course recordings without having to share a UD Capture link. Now UD students can access course content and class recordings all in on place!

Once a course is requested to be recorded for the semester, and has been scheduled to record by IT Academic Technology Services (IT-ATS), you can sit back and relax. All course recordings will directly show up on Canvas in your Canvas Course(s) as well as your new Kaltura based personal media repository.

Additionally, Kaltura is a LTI tool in Canvas gives multiple options for video editing. Owner of the content can give access to collaborators to edit an entry’s details and metadata, trim media, replace media, edit captions, edit chapters and edit slides. Any questions or comments or request for more information can be sent to udcapture-info@udel.edu (Important: Include “Kaltura” in the Subject).
