Kaltura

Kaltura is Emily Carr’s video management platform. It is integrated with Moodle and comes with tools and features that can be used for recording, sharing, embedding, editing and downloading video.

The ECU community also has access to Kaltura MediaSpace (mediaspace.ecuad.ca). Kaltura MediaSpace allows faculty and staff to manage their own video galleries, and to share and publish videos outside of Moodle.

What can I use it for?

  • Upload and share videos in your Moodle course or with other Moodle users

  • Make and grade Video Assignments

  • Add and edit machine generated captions to video and audio

  • Make interactive Video Quizzes

  • Record video in-browser while logged into Moodle using Kaltura Express Capture

  • Capture screen and webcam recordings using Kaltura Capture

  • Add slides and images to be presented alongside your videos

  • Do basic in-browser editing

FIPPA Compliancy: ?

Kaltura is hosted on EduCloud servers in BC.

Note: Machine made captions are generated on American servers and deleted after processing.
