FAQs

What is the difference between Kaltura Course Gallery and Kaltura My Media?

Kaltura Course Gallery is a widget you add to an iCollege course to share videos with the students in that section and allow students to upload and share videos with the rest of the class. Kaltura My Media is the individual user’s (instructor or student) media repository and is where users can upload and create videos or edit existing videos.

Can I copy Kaltura activities from one iCollege course to another?

Yes, Kaltura activities that are created as a part of one iCollege course will be copied when course content is copied into another course.

Do Kaltura videos embedded in iCollege courses work seamlessly when I copy my course content?

Yes, provided that you use the “Copy All Components” option when copying your course instead of copying your videos individually.

How can I share a Kaltura video with someone outside GSU?

That can be done by going to the Mediaspace website, publishing the video as “Unlisted” and sending the link to the person you want to share it with.

Will my video be available to use as soon as I upload it to Kaltura?

No, Kaltura does take some time to render and optimize the video and that can take several minutes depending on how large the video is.

What types of student analytics are available?

Kaltura offers multiple analytics including how many times the video was played, average completion rate, statistics per unique user, video quiz scores and much more. Please refer to the Kaltura tutorial linked in the support section above.
