How do I create a Video Assignment in Canvas using Kaltura?

Tell Me

While Canvas Assignments offers an online submission type called Media Recordings, Kaltura's My Media is the University's preferred video management tool for video assignments. Use this option to require students to submit their video assignments.

Media Recordings

The option Media Recordings uploads media (video/audio) into your Canvas course which has a limited (5.2Gb) file space. Kaltura's file space is approximately 150Tb and is a streaming media server able to transmit media at various internet speeds. By using Kaltura instead, students can submit an audio or video recording into their My Media that fulfills the assignment. They can either record new media or upload existing media.
