Kaltura

 

Kaltura is a cloud-based video management system that can be used for storing, publishing, and streaming videos, video collections, and other types of media. The system integrates with Canvas, but if you plan to use Kaltura outside of Canvas, you'll work directly with the web-based video management application known as Kaltura MediaSpace. With Kaltura, instructors can upload media and record their screen or webcam. Faculty can use Kaltura to support and enhance traditional, hybrid, and fully online courses. If you plan to use Kaltura outside of Canvas, you'll work directly with the web-based video management application known as Kaltura MediaSpace
