Kaltura Media Assignment

The Kaltura Media Assignment activity allows you to create a dropbox for student video submissions that are embedded via Bates video streaming platrform, Kaltura. These videos can then be made available to the rest of the class, if desired, using moderation and playlists. Learn more about curating the Media Gallery here.
