The Disruption Lab and the Teaching and Learning team along with featured Gies’ Faculty have partnered together to offer a series of virtual discussions on the latest developments and innovations in educational technology on the first Friday of most months from 10-10:50 am. Not only will you learn more about these innovative technologies and how faculty use them in their courses, but we invite your feedback and opinions to help guide education technology decisions for the College. Sessions will be recorded, so even if you cannot attend, you can be part of the conversation.
The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.
As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.
To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
