Kaltura

Pre-record lectures and videos for students that can be uploaded to your Blackboard courses. 

Video Quizzing now supports True/False, Reflection Point and Open-Ended Questions. Instructors can also set the video so students cannot seek ahead in the video for answers to quiz questions.

HELPFUL TIPS:

  • Kaltura integrates with Blackboard, which allows your content (and your students’ questions and comments) to remain private. 
  • Keep your videos short, 5-10 minutes at the most.
  • Use a headset or earbuds, or a stand-alone microphone, to increase sound quality.
  • Some instructors draft scripts before recording. If you do draft a script, consider providing it to the students as a supplement.
  • Students don’t generally mind if the production values aren’t perfect! If you occasionally say “um” or repeat a word, don’t feel you need to re-record.
