 Kaltura

Kaltura is a cloud-based video management system integrated within Blackboard. It is a tool used to upload media which enables usage in a variety of areas across University sites, including multiple Blackboard courses at once. Kaltura allows media to be inserted into Blackboard assignments, quizzes, exams, and course content by either the instructor or the student.

The advantage of using Kaltura is that your media is converted into multiple file formats which can be viewed in a browser without installing additional browser plugins. Using Kaltura rather than YouTube or Vimeo provides secure and private video publishing ensuring only students enrolled in a Blackboard course have access to videos uploaded to that course.
