UNG’s Video platform, Kaltura, is primarily used to store, closed caption, embed, and stream media in eLearning@UNG (D2L) course modules.

Kaltura provides a free app that is ideal for recording audio, video, and screen content with a webcam-enabled computer. Recordings can be uploaded using the app to My Media and embedded in an eLearning@UNG (D2L) course.

Note: Recordings uploaded to My Media are also automatically closed captioned, and a transcript is provided with the video player. Machine captioning is very good, but corrections are need to improve accessibility.
