Kaltura
Quick Guide
What is Kaltura?
Kaltura lets you create and share video and audio files in Blackboard (Bb). Uploaded files are
automatically converted into multiple formats for a seamless viewing experience. No plugins or special
software is required to view videos, and you can easily insert them into course sites. You can also grant
upload permission to students for video-based assignments.
Why use it?
Create more engaging content for
your students. Incorporate video into
your content areas as well as your
announcements, emails, discussions,
assignments, and tests.
Easily record, edit, and share any number
of videos in Blackboard.
Enhance your videos with captions,
slideshow presentations, timelines,
chapters, and attachments.
Stay in compliance with University
copyright policy. Kaltura locks down
videos to students taking your course.
