The Media Gallery is hosted at video.bates.edu, the College’s video streaming platform. The course Media Gallery serves as a channel for that course’s video content. By default, the Media Gallery aggregates videos that are shared elsewhere in the course, including videos shared on the course page using the Kaltura Video Resource activity, any submissions to Kaltura Media Assignment activities, and Class Capture videos. Faculty and students may also upload directly to the Media Gallery using the Add Media button.

All videos in a course are displayed in the Media Gallery with the most recently published video first, with options to sort by other parameters or search by keyword. To further curate the Gallery, from the Edit page shown above, click the Playlists tab to create or edit one or more playlists. Once you have at least one Playlist, the Media Gallery Playlists tab will appear and will display first by default.
