Kaltura – Use Media Gallery for Student Projects
In addition to being a place where instructors can share video with their students, the Media Gallery also allows students to add their videos and share them with the rest of the class. This can be useful for assignments where the instructor would like to review the submissions before they are shared with the rest of the class. If you do not wish to moderate the content, it may be easier to use a discussion post instead.
Note: In order for your students to able to view your course’s Media Gallery, please be sure you haveadded it to your course.
The Process:
Students go to the Media (Course) Gallery, click Add Media > Add New then create or upload their file. The system will give them a message across the top of the page that says their work will not be visible until you, the instructor, go into the Media (Course) Gallery to Pending, and Accept them--making them visible to the rest of the class.
What Students Do:
Click Media Gallery from the Course Navigation.
Click Add New > Upload Media. *Note - they can also choose to do a Webcam Recording or Screen Recording.
Click the Choose a file to upload button. Then Browse for the correct file. Click Open to select it. Let them know that the uploading, and the subsequent conversion processes can take some time, depending on the size of the file and their combination of equipment and internet service. Per your instructions, add Name, Description and Tags.
Click Save.
What the Instructor Does:
In order for students' work to be displayed in the Gallery, you, the instructor must go to the Media Gallery.
Click the Pending button (top left next to the Media button).
Click inside the thumbnail of each to watch it/ them.
Then click Accept or Reject. Accepted materials will show immediately in the Media Gallery. Note: TAs have the ability to process pending files; they do NOT have the permissions needed to delete them from the Media Gallery once "Accepted."
